I've seen this installed (on Unique Whips on Speed TV) on a CLK I think it was.

Interesting, yet unappealling to me.

Wow you ordered it. I would be so afraid of lining up the seams perfectly (like they are on my car) after the install.

Let us see pics.

Tough on the paint and upholstery, but the safety benefits are obvious.

A couple or a roadster might benefit from those doors, but in a 4-door sedan?

Anyways, this is more for show purpose than practicality.

I think the vertical doors look cool. It was a great idea in theory, but the kits are poorly executed. They make it difficult to get in and out, they tend to leave dimples in your fenders, and you have to be extremely careful when opening and closing the doors...still yet....I am considering it. I have done the kits on a 350Z, and Civic, and an F150 supercrew so far......haven't done a benz yet

The hinges stick too far forward, If all four doors were done with the vertical door kit, the hinges for the back door would block almost all of you driver door entrance. Now I have considered doing vertical front and reversed vertical back.........

Then all you'll have to do is practice sliding across the hood, Bo Duke style

Hey Lionhead,

Congrats on the Sox. They made it look too easy.

Cool concept. Wonder how it will be in the longrun, putting excessive loads on the upper hinge area perhaps not sufficiently reinforced. I would probably forget sometimes, and open the door into my garage door above.

CalBenzo,

Good to hear from ya! The Sox were just lucky or destined this year and got all the breaks. Tony Graffinino pulling a Buckner with the Red Sox, the infamous 3rd strike with AJ Pierzynski against the Angels and the Astros leaving a ton of men on base without scoring. We're now waiting for the northsiders (Cubs) to win won now.....LOL....last World Series for the Cubs was 1908.

As someone mentioned above, i think the lambo doors looks out of place on a 4 door sedan. Looks better on a sports coupe. It's alittle too much for me but if people like them....more power to ya!

That's retarded.

Amazing how many people think its cool to make a benz look ghetto.

Now, thanks to vertical doors, it can look ghetto and retarded. Kind of like a retarded thug that has a bullet in his brain so he talks "funny"

After looking at the demo on their website, I think the doors are really retarded. If the driver is big and tall, he probably couldn't get it the car. Plus you still have to pull out the door before lifting it. It's so wrong with that design!

Go check out the KLEEMANN CL/SL hydraulic door kit or the SLK kit developed by inden
