I don't know about this one Chuck. This is an after market conversion so who in their right mind would do this to their car. Only use I see is to prevent "dings" to the car door in tight parking spaces

I think they should go after companies making limos. This would be a cool feature for people renting these for events.

For normal cars, I don't think it will fly given the fact that it eats into the floor space.

I am curious if the doors are on both sides of the car or only on the driver's side as if both open at the same time I can see how they would fit under the frame together.

I'd rather have the Lamborghini flip-up doors ...... along with the Lamborghini!!

I'd like to see the videos redone in this week's California snow storm.
Wonder how much weight it adds to the car's frame to retain stiffness?
