Default Lambo Doors.. Anyone?

If you have lambo door can you give me some info:

1. Who made them
2. How much
3. Do they fit right
4. Have pictures?

I am wanting to buy a kit but I dont know who to go through. I have a 2006 TC.

Thanks in advance.

Moved to DC. There are only a few that have them...

IMO, they're quite lame. But do what you will, there is still some info around here.

the only ones that really think are worth getting, are from, vertical doors.com and decah.net, the only 2 companies i would trust and they make a good fitting product

lsd-doors.com (i think thats the site) are coming out with a lambo set for the tc.. they open both ways, regular & vertical (i would go with an option like this to get away with the inspection lol)

This is the info I have so far:
They try to sell them as "bolt on kits" but they are not TRUE bolt ons and a s#*t load of labor goes into it which is most of the cost. (like extending wire harnes) This ran around 4000$!! Doors are great but heavy with custom speakers in it. Door needs to be closed slow so it fits nicely. If you try to close it without having it alligned right you can scratch up the door pretty good and put in a dent. I would wait until better ones come out.




Hope that helps a little!!

That info is crap....

If you go cheap, you'll probably have issues, Vertical Doors Inc. has kits for around 1200 and they fit perfect and won't cost anywhere near 4000.... that's insane and futhermore a rip-off if you ask me.

You can also ebay and get cheaper ones for around 500-700, but they probably will sag and will be harder to get aligned - You pay for what you get.

Other bad information in the post above - I've seen the Vertical Doors Inc. Doors at Scionnight II in SF, California and you don't have to worry about how they close... they have special bumpstops in them that ensure the door is in the correct position before it lets you close them, or lift them for that matter as well... pretty much dumb-proof...

I can't say much for the e-bay kits, but VDI is the way to go... perfect fitment, easy/dumbproof use, and no where even close to the 4000 posted above...

I HATE BAD INFORMATION.... DON'T POST IT!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!

Sorry...just posted info I had...wasnt my investment...im still learning so thanks for the feedback!!

yes...im an amature....

btw...the price was including labor hours and I guess with missinformation from the manufactuerer he needed to adjust more to the door...ended up taking him 3 days..and with the pistons not being able to support the custom door panal and FOCAL speakers it took even longer bla bla...not trying to come up with an excuse...just problems they came accross when installing the doors

More bad info. You can get Vertical Doors Inc. Kits for less than 1400 easy, and 1200 with some work... look on ebay and there is a Vertical Doors Inc, Kit (from one of their distributors) for 1399 + 50 shipping.

Still too expensive IMHO though...

Expect some crazy amounts of wire crimping unless a kit happens to come with a new harness. Looks very nice on the tC tho!

Those doors are stupid and dont look good the reason they say Lambo doors the cause they are made for a Lamborghini not a TC.

to be honest i would rather have suicide doors, but i really dont want to have to shave my handles, so thats not an option, oh and by the way we were asking for help on the situation, not some lame a$$ opinion, thanks again for all of you who helped, but i think ill wait a while for some more kits to come out, and then compare.
