I wouldn't mind having Lambo doors. It would make me feel like a baller.

the struts to move the door are probably larger than the struts on my Honda! these doors aren't a joke!

are there any failsafes that would look the door in the up position? or is it only supported by the struts/hinge

I like it. Only looks good on wide bodies tho. I almost put them on my rx7 (if I didn't total it I woulda by now). Don't let haters get under your skin, trust me the members here aren't getting bad, wait till you pull up to a walmart or something for the real hate to start (had a friend who was badgered at nearly every gas stop).

I really want to hate this but I can't. Those hinges are no joke and got to give you respect for doing it right. Awesome that it looks like a bolt on type affair. It really doesn't look that out of place. Not like an escalade or a chrysler 300 with the square chunky doors.

Well done.

Man martinez that looks great. I really like it, some people have a very hard time getting out of my ride, especially my girl who constantly hits her feet on the door panel for whatever reason... I think it's cool, this thing is always a 50% like/hate mod. For our heavy *** doors I like it. WiIsh it wasn't so expensive though. Definitely get a video up!

i always feel like it looks terrible on a car that has a frame around the window.. if the door doesnt have a frame and its just bare glass looks way better.. but even alot of lambos dont even have lambo doors.. lol

It was very hard to do it by myself because for me to unbolt the door and take it off then when i got the hinges on i had to hold the door up while bolting it to the other part of the hinge.. i did have to take my fenders off

Nice hinge construction at least, for those with failing factory hinges... $1000 seems a bit much, but I guess that's the cost of time travel back to 1998 these days?
