It's a good price, but as another thread mentioned, Lambo doors are so dated that even Lambo's don't have them anymore...

Lambo doors from CustomMaxima.



You might get better pricing over at CustomAltima.com. And if that doesn't pan out, give CustomTiburon.com a shot. There's also ColdFusionCustoms.com, good prices over there. While you're there, check out the mailing address on each.

Lambo doors on a 4-door sedan. The 90s called and they want their bad ideas back.

Did you read the instructions? I don't think they translated all that well from Chinese. Add to that all the times you have to cut away something to get it to fit, expect water leaks when you drive in the rain. And the joke at the beginning about you can put the original door hinges back on. Sure you can - with about as much work as butchering your car to put the Lambo kit on.

Hey I have one of those at my work $200k

Dont look at the lambo doors, not only do you butcher the doors up, i am sure it doesnt explain about extending the wiring harnesses at all inside the doors so they do get ruined.

And i have heard horror stories about cars with aftermarket hinges that do that, not getting the doors open in the front if you hit something with the front of the car hard enough to push the fenders back because they dont open right.

Just a bad idea, i worked at a speed shop and we could get them, we used to tell customers we couldnt get them at all because we didnt want to be at fault for something horrible happening.

Although there was a honda guy who had them that came in and one of the door struts let loose as he was getting into the car, and the door smacked him when it came down he was pissed. It was funny

Actually, I quite like my Rotas, thanks.

I just don't think lambo doors are worth it. Especially on a four-door car. Having lambo doors in the front, and normal doors in the rear just looks...ridiculous.

^ I think the most amusing part about that thing is that of all the car chassies he pulled parts from, he used a 5th gen chassis to mount it all on.
