hey everyone, just wanted to grab everyones attention about lambo doors from redrum customs. Especially to the tC owners on my team and to the scion community, i recently purchased Lambo Doors from their company. Actually my girlfriends for those who know her. I brought it in to my shop, which is Imagine Audio. The person who works there that works on my car, is Vimean Hing, for those who know him his scion life name is oneslowxa. Now the 1st time that i brought my car into the shop, they started working on it. everything was going good until they tried to put my fender back on, and there was a major gap, and i'm talken about like half in gap at the top end of my fender to my door. Vimean and the rest of the team tried everything they could to get it to work. but it won't budge, so what had happen was that i had to return it to the company for an exchange because they said it was a factory welding defect. So the next day i went up which was the day of the picnic(which i freaking missed!) to go up to the shop and do the exchange in haskell nj. The approx. drive was 2 and a 1/2 hours there. Spent almost about 90 bucks on gas, since i had to drive my mom's car. Since i was soo nice of a guy, i actually saved them money from shipping it back to them and back out to me. So i get there and had the kits lined up, what the problem was... is that the factory welded one was a quarter inch higher than the one they had instock. So okay, i thought everything was all solved. Did the exchange, but before i left... i had asked the manager, which was Wade... has this every happen to any of the kits? wade tells me nope, and told me they sold hundreds! key word HUNDREDS! to tC's. Kinda knew that was a false statment to try to make themselves look good. Besides, how many tC's in the east cost have lambo doors? Def. not hundreds, i've only seen 2 so far.. from expsoed in NY. So i leave to head back home to drop off the kit back at the shop. Vimean works on it for a bit, and messages me later on saying that it was doing the samething again!. This morning they worked on everything today and resulted was nothing!!!!!!! basically what im trying to say is redrum customs sold me 2 defective kits. and obviously, i had to pay the shop for the labor and time they spent on it. the total came out to $600.00, now this was a special charge, the actual amount was even more than that. Now so i'm paying money for them to take off my door and put back on. Don't you guys think it's unfair for me? Shouldn't the door kit company pay for the labor? they've given me 2 defective kits. What was major problem was that in order to get the kit to fit correctly they only used 3 bolts outta 4, which was really dangerous and a safety hazzard, also the washers that came with the kit was bending in befored even torqued all the way. Now tell me how dangerous that is? So i've talked the manager of redrum customs. I approached them very nice and kind, all i wanted was money back on the labor or atleast some kind of way to work things out. All he could have done for me was sale me another kit for the tC made by VERTICAL DOORS INC. for $1000.00. I mean thats great deal, but i'm still loosing money! And if i did go with the deal, i have to pay for more labor and time. soo for all you people looking for lambo doors, try to avoid this company. I'm sure their gonna be posted up on scion life. Thanks, for hearing my out, just thought as a memeber i warn my fam. But my current mood is

dude! i saw your car, thats HOT you should post some more pixs of your car.....i really wanted to see it........peace!

your car is SICK! good job man!

 

haha thanks man, yeah when i take better pic's i'll post them up.

 

Sorry for the bad experience...

I was looking at vertical doors inc for mine and didn't want to go cheap for this reason exactly.

I hope it all works out for you in the future though and it'll look great!

P.S. - Try to type real paragraphs, or edit your post into them... It's really difficult to read.

 

i was wondering, did you have to do any modifications to the fender? like roll it or anything?

 

Vertical Doors Inc. says you don't have to perform any modifications to the tC to get the door to fit properly... that it is a bolt-on kit...

But, I bet there is a reasonable amount of adjustment to get the panels and door to match up perfectly.

 

what does it mean to roll your inner fenders?

 

yeah vimean had to shave off some of it a bit to get it to fit on...

 

Sorry to hear about your problems with your lambo doors. I just had mine done with a Tc kit from Vertical Doors Inc. As stated it is a bolt on kit with no additional working that has to be done. My mechanic said the toughest part was the allignment after installation. I included a few pics of my car as well.

Good luck

 

first off, sorry to hear about your exp. with them and the lambo doors
this is why i don't rec. anyone to buy big body mods like this, no offense to those who are into the lambo door thing....

they should sell the kit for ne one to be able to put it on and fit RIGHT.
they should at least help with some of the money spent, for ur trouble

other thing...tellin u they sold hundreds of lambo door kits to tC's is false, but there are ALOT of tC's that have them on the east coast, there is at least over 15 ive seen in my area alone....but they are off in numbers though

hope it all works out though, and keep up the modifications

 

sorry to hear..
