I am doing a full DIY write up on the install on http://www.xAtuner.com

Quick review , great company, decently easy install, work amazing.

Side markers will not fit do to they are at the hinge elbow and our markers are huge.
I am going to put badging over my holes, but you can easily place a lens cover on and use a led type syster am be in bussiness.

No, the doors close just as easy as if the were stock.

No I did not.
If you go inside the door you can pop out a clip and cut the clip off of the wires and you will get about another 6 or 7 inch of free wire.

I don't have any experience with lambo doors, so this might sound stupid, but, how is getting in and out of the car with these doors? Hit your head yet?

the elbow if i let it swing out enough with the settings would actualy pop out of the hole. there is no way to shave it down IMO. You could however just attatch the lens and run leds to it.
I am seeing how it will look with a badge over it covering the hole. if it doesnt work well for my eyes i will be trying the lens/led combo. since i wont be driving it during the winter i might send it to get wrapped in carben fiber. those are the choices I have on my plate.

I dunno, I'd say it was maybe a 6... it sucks doing, but its mostly time consuming.
you will need 2 people to do this at least.
