That is wicked cool.

Who is going to be the first one to try it...
biosurfer1
one of the cars in the james bond movie "Tommorow Never Dies" had something similar...always thought it would be damn cool to have that

So which of us is going to be the first ones to see this installed on some piece of crap stromberg.gif civic or eclipse? There is a mid-eighties corolla that I see driving around here with spinners. Kind of the same idea.

Freaking awesome! It looks like it would only be practical for large luxury cars and trucks as you can lift them. What do you do if your battery dies? How about if you drive into a lake? poke.gif

Model wearing white socks with a dark suit? That's an alarm bell right there ...........

Gonna be a PITA in the rain ....... The Cap'n

Kinda trick, but I would hate to be in a heavy rain storm and have to get in and out.

Obviously you are not up on the latest Euro fashions......

I rememember the days when all the Frenchmen wore dark suits, white socks, and hot PINK glasses flames...... Or the Euro Grannys with purple hair.... er.... I mean Aubergine....

I just couldn't compete with them.

As per the doors, I could just hear one of them being rubbed across a raised spot in the road as it opens......

Kinda like fingernails on a chalkboard..... Skreeeeeeeeee!!!!

And, better not load up with a lotta luggage and people without self adjusting air shocks.

Seriously, the packaging sucks. The floor has to be more than one door thickness taller so that the door fits underneath the seats.

Do it to your teener and you will need 6 inches removed from your spine

Yeah, but I could do it to my Mercury Sable. What a class piece that would be! Anything would help!

It sounds like they claim it doesn't reduce road clearance. So I assume they raise the interior floor to make the pocket for the door. I am 6'5". I have headroom issues as it is. They might as well as cut a hole in the roof for my head to stick out.
