I don't see how this really changes the image of the VX - the doors will look the same and many of the kits allow for normal opening in addition to up. I can think of lots of times that kind of door would come in handy. And if you really think about it instead of going with you gut reaction that it is ricer (due to your limited exposure to them in person or in the media) then they very much fit with the VX look and image. I saw a sweet SL500 last time I went to the track and ricer never crossed my mind. I think that is a state of mind and predjudice.
