there is a car audio shop here in town that offer those doors on any car. My boy wants to put them on his avalanche but i keep telling him that is not a sports car. Its on 24's now plus having doors that go up still, here is no way he will be able to close those doors w/o a ladder. Anyway, the reason i said that is because i think he said they would do it for $1500.00? (maybe) and that might be at just 10% over cost cuz thats his discount at that shop.

Looks like a pointless way to ruin the original design with no practical benefit. Ideal for people who want to show they have more money than good taste though. The rest of us can just laugh at them behind their back I guess

haha it is funny to see the members from L.A and Miami love it but the guy from the U.K thinks its horrible.
I personally think it looks good but then again i'm not sure i would do it to my own car now i think about it.

Pricing on Wing Doors
I took the liberty of contacting Inden-Design about pricing and figured I would pass it on to you.
Installation has to be done at Inden-Design in Germany. They indicated that faciliating the installation prior to it's shipment to the final location (in my case, Canada) isn't a problem. The cost is 6,000 Euro and the process takes four days.

sure worth a try i guess...id be interested in a supercharger or scissor doors perhaps even a kit.
But then again i don't think the discount would be anything substantial
worth a shot though...

It looks cool because the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren has swinging doors like that, and the new SLK looks like a baby SLR anyway. It is very suiting.
If they did this on something like a Ford Mustang or Mercedes CL-Class, it would be the stupidest thing known to man. It would even look stupid on an SL-CLass.
It works on the new SLK because of the McLaren.
