Read through this message thread:

Plan on spending around $10k for the conversion after it's all said and done.

We will be releasing a VLS (vertical lift system) specifically designed for the RX7. You can see pics of our RX7 kit at the website... it opens both vertically AND oem. It should sell for around $1500 like our 3000GT/Stealth kit.

I'm new to the RX7 forum, but I'll be happy to answer any questions anyone might have. We don't have a release date just yet.... but its coming up.

I hope you are planning on making it raise more than the 3000GT in the pic. I think it looks kinda bad if you have to duck under your door conversion.

I'm 6'5", this is on my daily driver, and there is no ducking going on. When you actually get first hand experience with it, you'll notice that you dont use the corner near the a-pillar to get in.... when seating yourself, you use the opposite corner.

I'm really quite confortable getting in and out. I sprained the hell out of my left foot a few days ago, and its all messed up. I actually find it easier to get out with the door completely out of the way of my crippled foot

Looking forward to seeing it...perhaps a group buy will make it cheaper?
