Get what you pay for?

Hey I was intrested in vertical doors for my 8

(If you don't like it please don't go into detail about how "please don't do that to the 8 it looks bad and yatta yatta yatta" If you don't like I'm sorry I do)

I found this sight and the price just seems to good to be true. Or maybe it's just cheap but I don't know much about these door applications and I was hoping someone here did and could tell me if I was getting a good deal by buying these.

That's the pic

I have no details concerning your question


Seriously though, what does your common sense tell you? There is no way that for around $50 this can lead to a quality install, I'm guessing it's up there with the ebay chips, and electronic superchargers.

Q: Why is your kit much cheaper than the others?
A: We do not sell you a patented specialty hinge in which the manufacturer can fix the price. Our method is similar to the kit car industries method which has been used for many years and can be done for a mere fraction of the price.

It says you just get a book and a CD. Why didn't I think of that? And why didn't I think of the draining pasta pot? They always beat me.

Maybe you are getting what you pay for: instructions. There is no mention of the parts required being included, only the instructions on how to do it. If, in fact, that is the case, then $50 is a total rip-off.
