Before you guys say anything, the reason why i called it gullwing doors, is because its made under the gullwingdoors.com brand. Someone out there is going to want to say how its not techincally correct. But really its just a brand name, not meant to describe the exact motion of the doors. Other names are not 100% correct either: Theyre not really completely vertical, as these doors, go out, then half way up. Theyre not "scissor" doors necessarily, since it doesnt resemble scissors much at all, "lambo" is a made up word, etc. etc. Sorry for the ranting, but every time i post something with that company name, at least 3-4 people chime in on it. :-)

Anyway, the gullwingdoors kit for the tiburon 97-01 will be ready in about 2 weeks, and in America by October. Just wondering how many people would actually be interested in getting this. (this will determine how many are initially imported). These are 100% bolt on, specifically designed for the car. Higher quality than anything else manufactured in the usa or china. Engineering went into these to take into consideration shock pressure in different climates, geometry of the door, weight distribution, etc. etc. Most kits out there today are just either copied (civic kits), or cheap things thrown together, with no regard for many important factors.

Anyway, the normal price will be around 945 plus shipping, and 95 for the wire extension kit. I was thinking of doing a group buy also if theres interested for probably 845... Does this interest anyone?

Without pictures i doubt it will interest anyone. Take pictures of the hinges and the kind of work the fender will need.

There is definantly interest... but you need to show how much better your kit is compared to the other kits out there, since they all claim they are the best engineered.

Well yes pictures would be good. I would defintely wanna see it first. If its a bolt on kit with no body work necessary then I'd be interested. Also a group buy at around $800 would be good.

Jaws021

some body work will have to be done... regardless..

Its nothing that cant be done with a dremel though..

Fenders will need to be removed as well, more than likely. That goes for ALL kits.

I have seen the Shark Racing kit in person on an 03 Tiburon, and it looked perfectly lined up and stable. I don't know how durable and steady it was (didn't rock the door to see how flimsy it was) but it lined up perfectly on both sides. That could be due partially to the installer, but I talked with him and he was saying how easy and perfect the install went.

Getting the product... that's something totally different (as he put it in his words). Once you build a relationship and partnership with them you get your stuff faster, but as a first time buyer, Beware for delays. wink.gif

I wouldn't buy the kit, or even consider it, unless detailed pictures were shown, including amount of work to make it fit properly and to show the amount of modification needed to make it perfect (none of this complete bolt on, done in 2 hours BS I've heard elsewhere).

Intrested?

Yes.

Price?

Ehhh...

I remember talking to TeamSR on AIM...



What's with all of the delays?

In general, with pics, if they are a good setup, maybe. But probably not, I promised Jaws 21 I'd get in on the GB he's gonna hold for them. We allready know that's a pretty good kit.

I am interested if we can get pics....A price of around $1000 and the are bolt on and dont require major modification....hopefully able to be installed without fender removal since my side skirts are molded on.

You can buy a whole other car for that much (I know because I am buying a 98 with 32,000 miles on it with minimal frontal damage for $750.)....I am sure you can find a fabricator that would do a custom job for pretty close!! That just seems really expensive to me for a hinge, springs and a couple of bolts!!

just my opinion though.

silvertibbs

LOL when you put it that way it's so true. The parts you get really aren't that big money. But it looks sooooo good on our cars. Any car really.

Jaws021

if you get someone to make a custom kit.. it will be just as expensive maybe even more.


We should wait and see pics before anything.. who knows it might be better than the kit i could get.
