Default Scion xA Lambo Door help

im looking to get a lambo door kit for my 06 scion xA and was shopping around. I found a bolt on lambo door kit for a tC and asked the owner and he claims it will fit onto the xA stock bolts. Can anyone verify if a tC bolt on lambo door kit will work with an xA? Thank you!

no it will not fit even if you modify the bracket because it is a completely different bracket.

That might be true, maybe your xA looks like a lamborghini, but mine looks like a scion, but then again, it may look good. post pics if and when you do it. GL. TC

I got mine off ebay for about $300.
Its a Catch 22 though with the lambos. Yeah they look really cool, but its annoying getting in and out of them. The doors only open half way now and than go up. There is nothing to grab onto to lift them on the xA, so I just have to put my hand on the bottom of the door and lift if I want them to go up. Getting in from the outside is easier because I could just lift it with the door handle. I don't always use them, just when I want to show off. I was thinking about getting a add-on kit that opens and closers them with a button, with some hydraulic shocks or something.
All and all, if you can find them for a good price and really want to do it than go for it. My neighbor helped me put mine on and it was allot of work involved.

I have the springs sitting in my garage, I just need someone to put them on for me. I don't want to go to the dealer and have to pay a arm and leg for it.
got Tanabe springs. Red and black, they give the car a 2inch drop in the front and 1.8 in the back.

That was a direct bolt on kit. It fit perfect where the old hinges were. I just had to roll my fender a little bit on the driver side because when it opened it rubbed a little bit.

taking a mallet and kinda bending in the edge of the fender. This way you don't have to cut the fender. It curves the fenders edge in more this way the door wouldn't hit it when opening.
Heres a video on rolling your guards so a larger tire will fit, but its the same concept
