2003 Toyota Celica Body Kits & Ground Effects

Doors do not swing up to a 90 deg position, it's as pictured and it will only be 45 deg pitch, I believe I would prefer 60-80 deg pitch max. However it was easy to install, and the bolts line up to factory screw holes from the old hinges. I used the longer bolts that come with the kit for attaching the hinge to the apron, and the shorter bolts to attach to the door. (instructions don't mention where to actually use the included bolts) you'll also have to cut the inside of your fender for swing allowance and cut off the center fender hanger in the center of the apron as to allow the hinge to sit flush with the apron, both easy to do if you know how to use a cut off wheel. Install time was quick approx 1 hour. I like the hardened steel the manufacture used, and it is robust with a black finish. My other mention is the price, not that I'm a cheapo (I obviously bought a set), however, the product is really only worth half of what I've paid, a fair deal seems to me would have been $200 a hinge(400$ total). It would have also been nice for the manufacture to include another set of gas struts to perhaps allow a full 90 deg pitch or custom angle as the gas struts that come with the kit are short throws.. All that aside, it is a superior product that has room for improvement and will give you the instant Lambo Door gratification you're looking for in my opinion. Hope this helps if your thinking of purchasing. I've mounted mine on a 2002 Toyota Celica GTS.
