#93694, "Just Finished Installing Lambo Doors ... (Pics)"




          

What's up everyone? Just wanted to post pics of the lambodoor kit I installed, heard bad things about them, I got mine off of ebay, figured it was worth a shot for around 400 bucks and they bolted right on, no welding or nothing. I had to roll the fenders some but not too bad, you can tell its a ebay kit though, about half an inch of it was too big for the lower part of the fender, so i cut some of the inner fender out to make it fit, only about an inch or 2 but you can hardly notice unless you get down there and look. The hardest part of the install was taking the fenders off, 1 bolt on each side was HELL to get too, never taken them off before and doubt i will again LOL

I've heard bad stuff about these, like bolting on and not staying up and stuff but i would really recommend these to anyone. They open out a little and then go up, you can squeeze in, without going up, if your small. But the drivers side shock is stiff as f--k .. I have to use both arms when im sitting down to pull the damn thing down LOL but I'm 6'5 and I get in and out fine, so no size thing with these things.



Sorry for blabbing on LOL but I just wanted to get some info about these things out, next thing up is a turbo kit, found a deal on 1 and should have it within 2 weeks, so ill update then too, after that comes paint, just not sure what color yet. Alot of guys are telling me leave the graphics on cause they are 'original' but i put them things on when i got this ride like 3 years ago, dont care alot for them now, and most of you dont either but thats cool i appreciate all the comments and help i can get!



Also may get this thing lowered soon, 1.5 won't hurt i dont think, but id hate to bang up my bumpers! But let me know what you guys think.

Looks like you did a good job, glad the eBay kit worked out for you. I like the white interior, go ahead and drop it, I'm on Sportlines with a body kit and don't have any problems, you just have to angle in and out of steep driveways.

Peace,
It wouldn't hurt anythin'... It will however make you lose some hp, but not too much...

Who was the seller on eBay where you purchased the kit from? How did you roll your fenders out and what exactly did you cut?

P.s. Looks good by the way, good job...


Peace,
Jem

Not having enough back pressure will kill your low end torque, unless you're turbo of course. I had one of those straight through cats for a while and it was rediculous how much slower the car was.

lower it first, like i told ya before and slow down so you dont shatter your bumper and youre good to go emoji

I just wish my car was as fast as it was loud. people tell me i should use my sub to push it, it might go faster.

Lower the car and I think u will be good! Not a fan of the graphics...but as long as u are happy with what you do to the car then that is all that matters! I love my lambo's minus the fact that they wobble when they are up in the air and the wind blows...



I'd say it's a work in progress....WOULDN'T YOU!?

First off the ebay kit has nothing to do with it sticking through the fender, it's the fact our fenders are too skinny for the hinge, mine does it too. The two hands to pull it down thing is because the new ebay kits are using a 3200lb shock which helps them go up but in return makes you have to pull it down. The decah hinge that I have is like floating the door up and down. It has no resistance really in either direction. Probably the easiest way to tell yours is an ebay kit is, about half way up the arm on the hinge it has some holes drilled through it for no apparent reason, and/or it has a weld in the middle. Reason being an employe at decah left and created "Verticle Doors Inc" and to get away with copying the hinge he drilled the holes, and created a weld, for no apparent reason to slide by. Only downside is I've seen 3 sets of those break at the weld, and I'm sure the two holes in the middle of the upward swinging hinge aren't the best idea. Props on doing it no offence ment but this is the reason I stuck with the Decah hinge. Not so much that the other ones are bad but My buddy deal directly with decah and they verified the story, I just think its screwed up to take the exact design. At least GT Factory and Autolock, and some of the newer hinges use their own design. Ok enough of my blabbing... the doors look nice, the rest needs some attention. I got a full rdora body kit and bullet fenders I'll cut you a deal on if your interested.
