The B door are great, but in IMHO only part of the solution. Another equal important component, is proper installation by an experienced tech. In the past results varied even though the hinges installed were the same.
So are the hinges available as a kit with installation instructions, are only sold and installed by pre-qualified and trained service centers? What is the pricing in each case? I presume quanity pricing is not applicable for the FGT.

I would suggest you contact Shadowman or The GT Guys or Berrnard depending on where you live. All three are installing them, perhaps there are other installers also .

Are stock hinges aluminum or steel?
Maybe it is just me, and I completely admire the engineering, but the it would seem to me that a steel ball rolling in an aluminum track, supporting the weight of the door, would be an extremely high wear item. :confused

The original design uses a ball that follows within a track with "no" load and the later version uses rollers on the outside of a blade style aka exposed track and again "no" load.
The weight of the door is managed as with Lamborghini etc by the gas strut.
