Vertical Doors For The Nissan 300zx

Since the first “Back to the Future” movie, those that were into the show car circuit became interested in Lamborghini doors. Of course, nowadays, these doors go by many names…Lambo Doors, Suicide Doors, Vertical Doors, and more, but regardless of what they are called, in the last few years, there has been a huge demand for these doors, particularly in the sports car arena.

However, people are not only using vertical doors in the show car arena, your average everyday car can be seen with them (if you are in the right socio-economic neighborhood, at least). So what is the big attraction? There are a lot of things that a person can do to modify and accessorize their 300zx. Why vertical doors?

The answer is simple…style, class, ease of installation, and not to mention, they are head-turning. While vertical doors will not make your Nissan 300zx faster, louder or a better drifting car, they will most definitely get you, or at least your 300zx, noticed. Think of the young guy walking a puppy, and all of the hot chics that stop to talk to him. Well, vertical doors have the same exact effect!

In fact, Shaquille O’Neil thought they would be so impressive that he asked an installer to have them on his Navigator in three days, so that he could show them off at a big game night. Similarly, Ice-T and T-Pain got into the suicide door trend by not only putting them on their vehicles, but also rapping about them.

Ok, ok. You have decided to get vertical doors, but here is the hard part…which ones to get? AutoLoc was one of the first to manufacture aftermarket vertical doors, and their products are still one of the best. They offer doors that swing up a full ninety degrees, and are direct bolt-on, with no welding or drilling. Further, they offer doors that are either manual or automatic. With a touch of a button, your doors can be pointing to the sky.

Other manufacturers, such as GT Factory and MimoUSA, have jumped on the vertical doors bandwagon, producing high-quality Lambo doors of their own. In fact, GT Factory is known for their suicide doors that open to a full one-hundred and eighty degrees. However, GT Factory’s installation is slightly more complicated than AutoLoc’s, requiring about fifty percent weld on, but GT Factory’s lifetime warranty and phenomenal technical support seem to make up for the extra installation requirements.

The truth is, there are an extremely wide variety of vertical doors on the market, today. The potential buyer must ask themselves what they want from their new Lambo doors. Do they want manual or automatic? Do they want ninety degrees, one-hundred and eighty degrees or straight up? All of these will affect one’s decision on which vertical doors to buy, but potentially the most important question remains…what is my budget?

Vertical doors range in price from roughly $700 to $6000. One’s budget will ultimately affect which vertical doors they decide to put on their car, but either way, they will be the talk of their block.
