Default does anyone know a good lambo door installer?

Hey everyone, i finally got my lambo hinges in. They are the 90 degree ones. I wanted to know if anyone could reccomend a good lambo door installer in the ny (staten island area preffered) area that knows how to door the 90 degree doors on a tc or just lambo doors in general.

all suggestions welcome
Thanx
Lee

It all depends on if they are custom for the tC, or just generally made... mine bolted right on with VERY little modification, whereas most of the "general" kits, which usually need much more modification to make work. That would change your install time from reasonable to expensive, QUICK.

Good luck on the install, I personally think the tC looks funny enough with the angle the VDI and JTAutostyle hinges have.... can't imagine our huge and heavy doors up at 90 degrees... and I have vertical hinges...

Can I see pics of your verticle doors WDS? I want to get verticle doors as well. When you buy verticle doors, you are only buying the hinges right?

Not to be a ***** but Lambo doors and vertical doors are different. But I've seen some tCs with vertical doors and they don't look bad.

Wow.... they must be universal...

the VDI or JTAUTOSTYLE doors can be installed in about 6-8 labor hours, coming in at around 600-800 for both doors.... ( I did them myself for nothing and it was really not too hard)

BUT, if they are custom made for the tC, what you have been quoted is a rip off, if they are universal, you're up a creek, as some of the neccesary modifications take time and will cost.
