Well my kit should be here soon. Doors are finally going vertical :D
Now watch the panties drop :) LOL
Picked them up from JT Autostyle. Supposed to be a "bolt on" kit but Im no sucker. LOL I got the tools sitting here allready for any fender mods. If anything the fender might need some rolling or I can use the dremel and cut it out to make room for when the door goes out.
I did alot of research. Think its been a year of reading up on these dam thing and many others did the JT Autostyle kit with out needing to mod anything but you never know these days.
I well post up pics and progress as time progresses
Bash all you want you haters :P but its seriosly a mod I always wanted and im happy with it. Till of course the day I find out it dont work lol like the ProCharger LOL

a friend of mine in london just put his 2002 civic on bags and lambo doors. I like the look of the doors a lot. On a show car it looks crazy cool, but I am afraid of the flimsyness of the hinges. It looks so sketch its not even funny.

hope you bang your head on it getting out of the car one day. Might knock some sense into you to put the stock doors back on :P

i doubt i well have any toruble getting in and out. I seen big guys get in and out of cars with scissor doors without any hassle and im like the size of their belly.
The flimsness is there so there is some play. If it was all tight and it moved around you would end up snapping something. Open up a stock door all the way up and see how flimsy it is. Some ppl just get pins welded in to get rid of the play but doing that could be worse.

Right on Jay, can't wait to see that in person. I've heard nothing but praise from people with that kit on the focus. I haven't heard of anyone with any installation issues, as far as I know, JTautostyle makes the best kits out there.
Awesome stuff, can't wait to see it!

Glad you're happy with them.
I personally think you just ruined one of the nicest Focus in N.A.
Enjoy. :)

You're right that most people, even if they had the cash, would not subject their poor cars to having scissor doors :P
It's a good show-car mod, but I still think that the first time we have our 90km/h wind gusts you're going to open your door and *doooooink* it's going to bend right over. Would look funny trying to drive it home with the door sticking straight out and twisted over :P
Does the company have a strength rating on their hinges, like any test data to see what kind of wind force it takes to bend the hinge? I guess it would depend on the door though, and the Focus has a big wide door so it'll grab more air.. but I guess we'll find out soon enough :D :lol: ;)

I think it'll be facking sweet. I for sure have to see your car after it's done. I love scissor doors, and would love to do that as well.

How does it go? :huh:
