VDC/lambo kit recommendations

Ok, so I plan on getting a lambo door kit sometime in the future, not sure when.. but i was hoping for some personal accounts/opinions on which set would be best... i know many of you dont like them, but i just love the style, so let's try to avoid putting down the topic in general please... but if u dont like a certain brand of VDCs, then great, let me kno why so i can avoid them... i just want to get a good set, preferably bolt-on

here's the list of what i have in mind thus far

GT Factory - no bolt-on, but have great extension and full 90* angles
Vertical Doors, Inc - bolt-on, expensive, but heard theyre a knock-off of Decah
Decah - original VDC makers, bolt-ons, pretty good price, but i havent heard any personal accounts of them.

main thing im worried about is if certain ones are wobbly when held up.. i prefer it to be sturdy/firm hold

much thanks

I too am looking to get lambo doors for my g-coupe, but I dont get why everybody hates on them. Is there anybody that has had the lambo doors and hate it from experience?? I am very serious about getting lambo doors but do not want to bother if they are really as bad as everyone says. is it like putting fake spinners on an accord, something you just dont do, or will it cause major problems/headaches??

thats exactly what i was affraid of, i was hoping that they would have a kit to compensate for that but the general consensus is that there isnt. If the door wasnt meant to open that way, it shouldnt.

NO they do not.. i had this EXACT problem.. i got a set from decah and they claimed that the 350 z "Fits" the G because they are somewhat the same car.. completley wrong... the shop had to do major mods to the hinge which added about a week to it.. and in the end it was a pain in the ***.. yeah it worked but if you ever noticed, the g door is ridiculously heavier than the Z's and your basically geting a workout every time you really wanna open the door..

Eventually as people have been sayin, my inner fender became a wide body, and not in a good way.. i ended up switching back to stock..

if there's any advice i can give you besides for dont do it, i heard that the only way to avoid the fender is to have it welded on..
