Well most anti-ricers would argue that: you're trying to make your car look like something its not, a Lambo. The doors look way to ridiculous and flashy. They cost alot of money to do, and also make your car slower. But thats not my personal opinion....

how exactly do they slow you down is it because of the extra tools needed to make them slide up like that

its less then 100lbs for the parts, and unless he's aimming for under 13second in 1/4mile he'll fine. Plus you can always counter weight with more hp... I say do whatever you want, enjoy your car, and if you feel that its slower save up for a turbo make-over.

My Mommy said that people who have Lambo doors and don't own a Lambo go to Hell.

I think it would look alot better on the vert since it doesnt have the frame around the window. But I wouldnt do it. For that buy a civic. but yea its your car, rice it out if you want
