Default Lambo door recommendations?

My cousin has recently purchased an 06 Corvette. He’s considering doing Lambo doors. Of course, some vendors are better than others. I’m here just looking for vendor recommendations based on your personal experiences. I’ve done the requisite Forum search, but wasn’t really satisfied with what I found. Please: I do not need to hear from anyone who just wants to critique the choice for Lambo doors on a Corvette. (Yes, I’m well aware that those members are just waiting to chime in!) Thanks in advance for any helpful input.
My thick fingers posted this on the wrong subforum. Will re-post on General Discussion.

Back up, and tell me how you are going to install the charges needed to blow the hinges off the doors (no kit comes with theses), to get the doors open with the car crashed/flipped upside down.

For this situation to even merit discussion is ludicrous!!! I'll bet fewer than 1% of Corvette owners ever end up upside down when the car finally stops sliding/rolling, etc. Of those who do come to a stop upside down, probably fewer than 1% of them have the Lambo doors. So, less than 1% of the 1% have to worry about it! Personally, I'd never own the Lambo doors, though safety has nothing to do with it. I've read some pretty negative reviews on them as far as fit and finish, and how the factory OEM hardware isn't made to hold a door tightly closed/latched when using a door with a vertical range of motion......
