Default Lambo door questions.

Despite what some folks say, I think they look cool on the tC. I have done some forum searches but have been unable to find any specific information on this type of mod. Does anybody out there have any links to sites that sell this mod for the tC or any other kind of car for that matter. I am hoping to find some close up pictures of the mechanism. I am also wondering how durable this type of mod is. Will it last? Who makes them? Will my doors fall off if I do this and they break? Any oppinions on this are welcome as well. Thank you,

I've done research myself...and have seen some pics of tC's with lambo doors...looks hot...

According to some skeptics...it will cause your fender to sag...

Since the kits I've seen out there use the same door mounts...it puts no extra stress on the frame...so I don't believe it...

I don't have any sites for ya...the guy I'm going to has a friend who makes the hinges...

Seems a little "Google-Fu" is all it really took. I just did a quick search in google, and came up try and came here. When I came up dry here I posted, but then thought I could find it on google if I looked a little harder and tried some other key work combo's. Check out this site!

Looks like they are in the US as well. I think this is going to be the first major mod that I am going to do to my tC after I get it. Once again, feedback and oppinions are very welcome.

Also, anybody actually install one of these themselved? If so, what all is involved? Iam getting the impression "Bolt on" means that it uses the esisting door mounts. Has anyone observed "Fender sag"?

I had vertical doors on my car. But I took them off because i rather have a stock look!! The only problem I had that you need to make sure everything is lines up so that the door doesnt clip the fender or miss the latch! THen again its pain also getting in and out for both passenger and driver. But t is all opinion and what you want!!

These are the only crash test rated doors on the market. I have these and they are outstanding.

those are from ebay man...

if you cant find some one to do a custom job (hand made) you have to go with a very good brand .

If you cant afford to do it right dont do it at all. you will be asking for trouble.

I have lambo's and I'm satisfied with them. The Shocks will go out on you yes, but they are an excellent mod. People stare at you everywhere you go! The fenders will not sag or any of that Bullcrap. I suggest going with either the JT Autostyles (JT BON) or Vertical Doors Inc. My kit is the JT BON and it's one of the higher quality kits on the market and I would suggest them.
http://www.jtautostyle.com/ PM Me if you want more details and I will be glad to take close up pics of my hendges if you wish.
