IMHO, just don't do illegal mods lor... save yourself from all the trouble and fear of getting caught. Just put the money towards good legal mods instead. Just my 2c...
Lucky my door kit is a bolt on kit. not need to weld and drill any extra holes.
Just remove the original one and screw/bolt on the vertical kit and can remove again if required.
But I believe that they are more interested in getting the nerves of those who do alterations and modifications to the exhaust system and engine..

how about the loom extension?
those kit would normally allow you top opne horziontially about 2" to 3" before you have to lift.
make sure the gas struct is designed to lift the door, luckily the rx8 front doors arent that heavy. the stronger the gas struct, the harder it is for you to pull it down.
how many adjustments do you have? normally you get two tyre of adjustments, one for the horzontial swing and one for the vertical swing.

Morgan...going back to your original post, why not get a cool VR bodykit instead bro to match your excellent rims and CF hood....the lambo vertical doors although they look nice and they're unique will ultimately in the long run be a pain in the ***.

The one that I'm trying to remake is Stainless stain and Stabilus Struts which are much easiler to find.

Not yet. all of the Vertical Door Kit sold are make of Steel and even though they are galvanised They will still rust after some time.
So I will remake them using Stainless steel. (cos Singapore weather is too humid for galvanised steel)
And furthur more the most important part of the vertical door is the hydraulic struts. they will also fail after some time and I do not wish to be search for them or paying high price buying from the dealer that sold the door kit to me.
So not only am I using a different material . I'm also using a Stabilus struts, which is much easiler to find and cheaper to buy too.

Don't do it yet, I think they still very restricted in terms of the space thay leave to get in and out of the car. Other issue is that woth some lambo doors when they are open they do not leave enough space for the rear doors to open.
Be really carefull, and if you ask me, I'd tell you to stay out of it by now.
