Re: LAMBO DOORS!!!!!

really?

If you truly like that look for a third gen. Make sure the company you buy it from has good hardware and can stand up to the weight of the third gen door, other than that it shouldn't matter where you get this kit from. Make sure you or the person installing it knows what they are doing and you should have no problems. It all comes down to the hardware and installer you will have to test fit and fit again to get things done right.

Re: LAMBO DOORS!!!!!

Make sure you get a really strong assist cylinder - these doors can reach 100lbs easily. Also, take a picture of it - haven't seen many thirdgen lambo door conversions.

Re: LAMBO DOORS!!!!!

no such thing as a BOLT on for these cars. the door hinges are welded to the door and bolted to the body. therefor they REQUIRE weld on.

but if i were you. i would buy a bolt on kit and weld nuts to your door to make it able to bolt on. that way you still maintain adjustment which is critical, trust me.

Re: LAMBO DOORS!!!!!

thanks ..i checked the link out and saw that he used two 150lb struts on each door..do you think a single 650lb strut on each door would work...and if you would check a couple of these links out for me and tell me do you think this would work i would appreciate it.

option 1
245.99 before shopping but has full spics. 3/8" cnc steel and min (650lb.) shocks
http://customlambodoors.com/chevrole...oor-kit-1.html

option 2
330.00 after shipping 3/8" steel no spics on shocks
http://exoticlambodoors.com/product_...roducts_id=394

option 3
299.99 but no spics. at all

Re: LAMBO DOORS!!!!!

2nd and 3d links don't work. a 650 pound strut should be plenty strong enough.

Re: LAMBO DOORS!!!!!

Scissor doors (also beetle-wing doors, jack-knife doors, switchblade doors, and Lamborghini doors) are automobile doors that rotate vertically at a fixed hinge at the front of the door, rather than outwardly as with a conventional door.

the 2 150 lb struts work OK.... they aren't too bad but it still takes effort. and just as much to close them. 650lbs might be easy to open but i cant imagine it would be much fun to close. although it might be different with one strut. i still need to play around and find a better setup for mine.
