Keep good aesthetic lines while giving your arm a comfortable place to rest.

These still look way awesome to me, I like the gap on the bottom but I think itd be better to have them go all the way to the bottom. 1. None of your stuff can fall out. 2. I know in California its a $1000 fine fr trash coming out of your car, accidental or not, I dont think they'd take your word for it if a drink rollls out or something.

Now for a couple questions I have

First of, kudos for the no rattle issue, cause thats more annoying than anything. I was just curious how well they hold up at higher highway speeds and also when the door it open, does it flex at all or is it sturdy?

Keep up the good work Crash, these ideas never cease to inspire me

I like the size, the shape, the way they look, the light weight. Even the hinges look good. I am eager to find out about how the magnets work to keep the doors closed while bouncing around offroad and to see how you attach 'em. I just ordered tube doors and am waiting for them to come off backorder, but if I could go back in time to before I ordered 'em I would have tried this for sure. I just wasn't creative enough to come up with the idea.. and I am a plumber, you think I would have considered building my own with pipe seeing as I use the stuff every day. I can even visualize now what the rear ones would look like on my 4-door.

Very nice man! I am impressed with how they turned out.
