Vertical Doors on tC (56K warning)
#42
well.. i do not think it looks TOOO bad looking at it from the rear.. but those head on shots do not look good... NOW.. i have issues with these after market hinges or the way they swing the door.. first.. it's been done AAALLLOOOTTT!! on EVERY TYPE of car.. so it is no longer original.. at least down here in south FLA.. the other is that they do not open/swing up enough.. if you ever noticed a lambo and see how far up they swing, you see that the passengers in the vehicle have plenty of room to get in or out.. every one of these after market rigs i have seen open just enough to allow you to wiggle out..
id like to servey all the people who have these hinges and see how many have had cuts on their heads in trying to get in and out of their cars..
on the sagging.. i would assume that they would use the same mounting points of the original door hinges.. ( i have never looked into this so im just assuming) "if" they do.. i do not understand why then would this cause anymore stress on the frame than regular hinges.. the weight of the door has not changed.. again "assuming" that the factory mounting points are used.. the biggest failure point i see are the hinges themselfs......

I see the tC as a classier sports subcompact, if there is a thing, and the Lambo door just don't flow at all. Perhaps if it was more symmetrical like a Lambo, or Celica...just doesn't go.

Is not the access to the car more dificult with vertical doors than with regular doors?
If it is just for the look and does not add functionality to the car, is it really worth it?
What is the point on modifying a set of perfectly working doors?
Probably I don't have too much money for mods and anything I do must be pretty well thought and justified.
Anyway, if it makes you happy, congratulations.

Why ricers have to ruin every single kind of mod for a car. Body kits used to be cool, until a bunch of idiots started buying unpainted gross-looking kits and installing them on their Civics. Exhausts used to be cool, until every kid on the block got a fart can on their car. Lamborghinis used to be exotic, until people starting putting vertically opening doors on economy cars.
