Sup gang I'm new to the forum and I'll be purchasing my RX-8 in about 3 months but I need to do some homework first. Could someone please give me a resource with reviews for vertical doors. I've checked out a ton of companies but I plan on getting the best so I'm coming to people who would know. Thanks a bunch in advance.

Vertical doors shouldn't be your first mod! It just looks really weird.

vertical doors on a stock 8 might look a bit weird.

There's a few people on this board that have vertical doors, I might suggest trying the search function towards the top of the screen. Do an advanced search for vertical doors and you might find a few threads on them.
There are a few different companies that make kits for our cars, some are bolt on and some are welded.

Hope you find what you're looking for. BTW: if you wait a little longer, you might be able to get the new facelifted RX-8. (search for facelifted RX-8; long thread with pics)

when the first guy to respond to your post has verticle doors on his car and tells you not to do it as your first mod, you should listen to that man.

I have the LSD Kit for my 2004 8 It cost around 2300 the kit, but it is worth it. If ur wondering why so much ask around body shops and they will agree that it is the best. One question is the car used for everyday use or show. If its for every day then the LSD door kit is for you. If just for show, only!!!! I recommend the kit from andysautosport.com it around 600 bucks but...... it blows in the modding section you have to mod the sh*t out of it since it universal. THe instalation is around 900-1100. I say mod as u please dont listen to anyone but yourself and wallet. Real cars are built not bought!

Unless its a lamborghini, ferrari, pagani zonda, bugatti veyron, porsche 911 turbo, koenigsegg, audi r8, maserati, carrera GT, Ultima GTR, Rolls Royce, Bentley.....well, u get my point

ha, its funny: vertical doors were pretty much my first mod. first exterior mod anyway. it kinda worked out in my favour though.. since the exterior is bone stock noone expects the vertical doors, so they always catch people off guard. more often than not i have people (noone in the car community) believing that its a factory option and that mine is a special edition.

we buy our cars too u know....not in the mood to build a mercedes today ok ill stop

I'm stationed here in Ft. Riley kansas, and I have a set of lambo vertical doors, but can not find anyone here to install them. Is there anybody in the state of kansas who can install them please let me know when and how much it will cost.

I just got my vertical doors installed and it looks SICK!!! It ads an aggressive look. Just make sure you let ppl know before they try to get in your car.

Carsponsors.com hooked me up. They saved me over $600 on a kit from verticaldoors.com and saved me on installation from a local shop.

Here is a link where you can get a discount on the kit:

Pretty sure that is SPAM. The site he linked is interesting, but I'd rather not pay $75 for a "setup fee" for that site, sounds sketchy to me.

emerodi8

I'm not sure how to upload pictures here I'm using my phone.

The site is a new site that negotiates with other companies to get you discounts on the parts you want. It is affiliated with carsponsors.com

If you know how to upload pics to the thread let me know so I can show you my car

Here is a link to my YouTube video where you can see my car

I copied/pasted this link and removed the dot in the middle of the word "youtube" - this video doesn't exist. The ".be" part is a domain name, and this is spam. Could a mod remove this before someone tries to go to their site and gets a virus or gets scammed?

emerodi8

It's no spam... Check it out now it puts the name of the video as a link on your reply. When I click on it it takes me right to the video.

JamesD31

The youtu.be is youtube's short domain for posting links, just copy the whole thing and paste, just checked it out.

It is a video (short as it is) of an '04 with vertical doors.

Really? Well my bad then. I'm just so paranoid of scammers. I just posted an antique mirror on craigslist and already I have two messages in broken english, trying to get me to send info directly from my personal email to obviously-fake throwaway Hotmail accounts like 6zv4b@hotmail.com and 3j7px@hotmail.com. God I hate scammers so much, I literally wish I could reach through my monitor and punch each one of them.

Anyway, I just saw the .be part, and got paranoid since it is a domain from a foreign country (Belgium).

I did watch and Like the video after you clarified that though so thanx.
