You either like it or you dont. I love it!!
Got the one done today. Took about 8 hours and requires quite a bit of work on the fender. Its still not perfect shutting but its dam near to perfection. End of the day all I can say is bolting a turbo or S/C on is so much easier lol.
Next week we are doing the other door. Should take much less time since we will no what we are doing. Just winged it on this one. LOL

There is room for tuns of adjustment so it depends how much fender work you want to do. I set mine back so there isnt much room how ever it still didnt stop my buddy who is about 5'7 from getting in and out.
We even had Cumsey demonstrate and he is bigger guy. This is how far the door can open before it goes up. How ever I made it smaller for my liking.

I did it thow just to be different.
I dunno if I would do it again on my next car. Requires alot of work for my liking lol but thats just because im a lazy mofo.

No no no. You've got it all wrong. If the chicks dig it, that's all that matters.

From the pictures it does not look like there is much space to slide under the door.
Do you have a picture looking directly perpendicular to the car or even 3/4 rear view?

Looks great Jay, can't wait to see them both done and see them in person!! Let's see if I can get into the car, with my height that should be a good test.

Nice looking job there. Makes me wonder about the feasibility of "suicide doors" on a Focus sedan myself :P

TIn that pic the door is down a bit.
I adjusted it so the door doesnt open as far as it is capable of doing. It would be intereting seeing you trying to get in but dont think you would have to much problem.
How tall are you again? Like 7 feet?
