Thanks guys
installation was NOT that easy.
The installation manual says it takes 1 hour to install both hinges, with 2 people working on the car.
Well it took me and a body shop owner 8 hours to get this freakin kit on.
The door tilts in at the top, and tilts out at the bottom, when it is closed. So my windows don't roll all the way up, and the door pin never shuts so my interior lights are always on as the ecu thinks my doors are always open.
I have fixed these problems now, but it wasn't easy.
Pulling the front bumper, headlights, fenders, doors, side skirts, extending 34 wires (17 wires in each door) by 6" inches, installing hinges, and bolting everything back on together.... man it was hard. There are so many hidden bolts for the fender its not even funny.
But they sure do look cool
The doors are heavy though, so the first half of lifting is hard, but then the shock takes over and the door lifts itself
I just found out they also make this kit for Escalades, the rear doors open backwards..
