That is the only installed VDC from Vertical Doors Inc. Its actually the prototype they used to design the kits for you guys. I removed them and installed them on to my black car recently.
The cost is mainly due to the super high grade metals being used. The 7-800 dollar kits are simply made from softer metals. Much softer. And if you have ANY plans on using these as a daily driver mod, then you HAVE to spend the extra cash for reliability sake. These will now be selling for 1195. They'll be available in the HP.com store and on FlyRyde.com for close to MSRP I'm sure, which is 1899.
I may do one little 4 or 5 man group buy on HP.com and here again as well. These things are fully covered, and thats why you pay with no regret. Any issue at all is covered, as these things are made for YOUR car, and bolt right up, the install I thought was pretty cool, but dont be like me and do it alone. I work by myself about 80% of the time, especially building the black car. But I was obviously successful so any shop that knows half of anything should be able to bolt these on in like 2 hours or less.
The issues that take a while, are extending the wires. I think a lot of people will just go the easy route and make a bootleg bunch of big crimping sections filled with connectors. Then black tape. Personally, I think that looks like ass. I sat for hours and extended each wire by soldering the joint and heat shrink tube over the top, then one giant tube to cover the hole group, and finally shrinking it down to be a nice strong cover for the extended wires. Just hope I dont need to get back in there for anything soon, lol, it really sucked sitting there all those hours in my driveway.
