until you install them and they either don't fit, don't work, or your door comes slamming down.

their cheap for a reason. if you want quality stuff you need to spend money on quality parts. car modding isnt cheap.

its not the simple. alot of r&d go into this hinges. some do things others dont. like the ones that cost 1200 bucks are probably true vertical doors that open a full 90 degrees. your going to pa 300 bucks for them and they wont fit for @!#$ and 2 every little piece that can break on them, will break

^^exactly. ModifiedMotorosports makes a kit for cavaliers for $500 in the Group Purchase forum.. even then some people have problems with the struts blowing but joe can replace them so its just a lil hassle.. I can only imagine what the ebay ones are like.. Not to mention, im sure alot of the ebay ones copied the hinge design but did no strength tests or anything.. the hinges might not even bolt completely.. holes could be off and what not.. you just dont know what your getting.. Personally myself if i ever decide i want to mess with the lambos.. VDI or LSD will be the company i go through.. but their into the $1500 price range.. I know the LSDs let u open the door regular and then lambo if u want which seems to be a big problem with people with lambos.. for a DD i know most will suggest not to get em..

i paid 1500.00 for my VDI's when they were 1800.00.
this was a couple years ago too though.

if you see these in person, you will see that these are not exactly just cut pieces of metal.

good luck with what you decide on. keep us updated as to what you choose to purchase.
