Default Any one here have vertical doors?

Does any one here have vertical doors on their c7?
I am looking at getting a set and wanted to ask any one here that has them what they thought of them after they got them.
Did they like them and kept them and
If so did they get a positive response to them? or
Did they take them off for some reason ? If so why?
Yes I know some consider lambo doors lame...
I don't so I am seriously thinking I want a set
But did want to find out the experience others have/had with them.
Any one with pictures of their car with them please post em here!

Dave,
I have Vertical Doors on my C6 and I don't recommend that you install them on your C7. They look great and get lots of attention but you will regret putting them on.
My car is a daily driver and we live in the high deserts of Ca. We installed the doors in 2006 and have had to replace the struts every year since we got the doors. "Vertical Doors" charges you to replace the struts.
The alignment needs adjusting at least once every 18 months.
The wires are not well protected after they install the kit and now my FOB won't work on the passenger side.
"Vertical Doors" wants $600 to remove the kit; using my hardware.
Every time you take the car in for repair or maintainence you will have to make sure everyone touching the car knows about the doors or they will break the hinges off trying to open your car.

I drive the car a lot, 130,000 miles on the car now. These doors won't hold up if you use your car like I do. If you just want a show car, everyone will be talking about the doors, but be aware of the headaches you might have.
