| Many many hours of tedious alignment and heading back to the drawing board because something doesnt line up. Its a very complicated procedure, from what I understand. Neat shit though. That would look awesome, and if you had linear actuators on them, they could be programmed to open when you hit a button on the keychain. That would be sweet. Keep dreamin' man, but I dont think you'll get away with that conversion for under 1500 bux... |

For the lambo kits out there your looking at spending at least $3000 if not more for just the kit.
Personally I think they look a little stupid. Especially if you don't have the performance and craftsmanship of a Lamborghini to back up the look.
You also need to factor in the weight of your doors. Most of the cars you see with these kits installed are little ricers with teeny doors (read, don't weight alot). I know for sure these kits wouldn't work on a G-body unless you lightened the doors up ALOT. And your B-Body might not be much better. |

Yea...I was thinking the same as BBO...lambo doors belong on a lambo.
My recommendation if you're looking to change it up a little, shave the door handles and locks and put in door poppers. If you really want change it up, suicide them too (or just suicide them and don't shave). That's just my opinion though...

| I saw a sweet 84 chevy caprice the other day on cardomain. The guy modified absolutely everything you could do. But anyways, the door had a gullwing-windowframe, and the bottom half of the door was suicide!!! That was nuts.... |

dude your doors are waaaaayyyyyyy to heavy to put a lambo kit on em`
it`s not worth it at all just scratch this idea
even a suicide door on your car the doors are to heavy
can it be done??? oh sure it can anything can be done if ya got the money for it and you will need plenty of the green stuff for this conversion
save the money and put it into something else
coming from a professional opinion |
