Default AutoLOC Lambo Doors

I looked and couldn't find anything relatively to what I needed answered so I thought I'd make a topic about it. I'll be orderin my lambo doors from AutoLOC in the next few weeks and I just wanted to know ppl's opinions on the install. I don't wanna hear "Lambo's suck!" or "AutoLOC??? Go with LSD or Vert doors inc.!" I wanna know about the install. How much of a pain is it and how well is the product? Thanx.

I use to have the Vertical Doors kit and it wasn't that bad to install. the worst part is cutting the fenders to get it to fit, but even that isn't that hard if you have the right tools.

It took me almost 2 hours for the first door, then barley 45 minutes to do the 2nd door since you know what to expect.

If you are going to get lambo's, go with something that opens 130 degrees. The vertical door inc kit does a 90 degree and I wish it would have opened a little more so you could see all the way through the car and get in and out a little easier

up to a 90 or a 130?

the vertical doors open enough that you could get out of the car without popping them up, but not all the way like stock

the kit I am talking about makes it so the side mirror is pointing straight up and down, not at a slant. Let me see I f I can find a picture online

I think it looks even more dramtic at a show when your doors open all the way up, then farther out then the rest of the people that have the lambo doors.

It will be easier to get in and out, but I am 6 foot and about 215lbs.

I'm mainly wantin to know how bad the install was. How much of the fender did you have to cut and is it noticable when the doors are open? Thanx for the info btw.

Didn't realize you had to weld the shock into the front.

That sucks!

Looks cool with the doors facing forward
