I'd rather spend 1,300 on something that would prevent people from dinging my car with their doors, not the other way around

 

I got something in the works for a Lambo door kit to be put on my tC...

 

where are they for sale?

 

They are cool for the way factor, But way to much imo I would put that 1,300 torwards something thats worth it.

 

depends on what you are going for, a show car??? then get them. A fast street racin car??? then put the money in your engine

 

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.

 

ok I feel stupid for asking, but I read it all the time and have no clue what it means, and today I will ask, what the hell is IMO

 

In my opinion.

IMHO= in my honest or humble opinion

 

thanks I couldn't figure it out

 

Please don't, thats like putting them on a kia...the look will not be good

 

Ugly IMHO
...but to each their own I guess.

 

IMO i think it would look good, its a long car with a long door

 

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?

 

rice

 

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

i'm planning on getting the lambo kit also........but i'm also curious....what is this fender sag? what's it do?

 

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.
