are you looking for bolt on or weld on?

I had Vertical Doors inc. set up and it was pretty nice for a bolt on. The only thing I would want to do if I did it again would be to get a set that opened pass 90 degrees. Maybe the 130Degree so I could get out easier

well you have to take the fenders off, take the hardware for the door interior off, and do some cutting. Took me and my buddy 2 hours for the first door, then it only took about 45 minutes for the 2nd door.

But it all depends on your mechanical skill

ye tell me about it lol
which are better tho? weld on, or bolt on?
and yea the 130Degree one would be better of course, but im a noob at this lol, i did my angels, and it took me 6 hours for the 1st one to bake and install, and 1 1/2 for the second one lol, so i dont know if i want to do this lol, maybe ill have somone else do it for me instead lol, but i can always put stock hinges back on after the lambo right?

if you do a bolt on yes... you will just have a cut fender... weld on... it could be reversed... but its gonna be one hell of a PITA... so... technically the best kit would be an LSD kit,...but running around 5k isnt exactly in everyones budget... the vertical doors which is the next best kit... can be had from 1100 and up... then comes JT autostyle... i belive they are a little cheaper... but i dont remember... then just stay away from the ebay lambo kits... they will cost you so much to put on... it retarded...

Hm, have to keep that in mind if I decide to get me a set. I'd have to have a shop install though.

weld on will be very hard to reverse but a lot more stable when open. The bolt on kits can be reversed very easily, but they wobble in the wind when you have them open.

So, weld on is better, but harder to reverse!

i think that is the Auto Loc 130Degree kit which is a weld on and you also have to cut and extend your wires in your doors for the extra angle of the door opening.

Questions for you:
How much money do you have to invest in the kit with install?
Why are you installing Lambo doors? For show, or to show off?

i like lambo doors they look hot, and i dont know how much i have honestly to invest at the moment, for instance, before i didnt want to sepnd more then 200 on leather seat covers, and i ended up spedning alittle over 500, so i can work with it, but i dont want anything OVER MY HEAD you know...somethin around like 1.5k maybe, perferable cheeper, but i do like the LSD ones, they look good and as you say they dont wobble when open if there's wind, so yea...

If you can find a friend who knows how to install them, that would help with the cost a lot since labor is really high

Lamborghini has some good Lambos. The best type is probably the Gallardo or the Murcielago. It sounds like you're planning to buy more than one Lambo, so why not get both...
