Warning, you will be chasing fender sag every few months....
If you have th $$ to resolve that issue... either by fender replacement or adding re-enforcement to the door frame....
Best of luck to ya.
I considered the same.. but the sag caused me to think twice.

far too expensive i wouldnt spend over $300 dollars for a lambo kit. Unfortunatly they are totaly overpriced. plus if you have lambo doors you better have some mods to back it up cause a stock tC with lambo doors is i little weak IMO.

i was thinking of doing the lambo door kit too. this is the first time i've ever heard of fender sag tho. what is it? I think lambo doors is one of the few mods that isn't over done. anyone know any good kits for the scion? anyone know of any to stay away from?

That is probably the biggest investment (money wise) I would spend on my tC when I get it. I doubt I'll be getting the supercharger so apart of all the other stuff, this and rims are gonna be my most expensive ones.... or at least I hope so

you are putting the entire weight of the door on a new hinge in a new location. This causes sag. It's not a structural area built/designed for this.
the sag comes from opening and closing the door often... daily driver.
The more the weight moves up and down on the hinge area, the more stress is put into that area and the "pillar" that is the door frame. This pillar will begin to , for a lack of a better term, warp. Along with this "warping" the fender will follow. Causing something that looks like a sag.
It's something you need to keep on top of, or retire the car from daily driving status.
I've seen this on various cars... after I was alerted about a sag issue when I first asked about Lambo Doors here months ago.
It costs a lot of extra $$$ to reinforce the hinge pillar.
I could be totally wrong and the tC could be stout enough to resist a sag issue. I don't know nor did I want to find out the opposite.
