I've been thinking of putting vertical doors or lambo doors on my xA. Anyone know the pros and cons of that and will it affect the resale value down the line?

 

Ask IllNist. He put some Lambo doors on his xA.

Installing diablo doors is going to be my next project.

 

I'll go ahead and say I do not think vertical doors would work on the xA without knocking the ____ out of the top of the fender. That and they look a bit goofy and have serious wobble issues. Lambo doors however on the xA have just enough clearence over our giant fender tops. When I say just enough I meen, yeah, just enough.

Pros:
Adds a ton of wow factor to my all black car.
You can install this yourself and save a grand+
One of the rarest xA mods right now.
I pretend I am rich.
They are fun

Cons:
White trash at the gas station stare at me and say funny things
If you are chubby, you will NOT be able to enjoy these doors on a xA.

Will the effect resale value... sure. Depending on who looks at buying it it could be a plus or a negative. But you could always put your old hinges back on, but thats silly talk. Dont worry about resale, it isnt like you just painted the car doo doo brown, ya heard? If I ever get a free moment I am doing a install write up for my xAtuner.com site.

 

Thanks, this is very helpful.

 

looks pretty clean....

 

Thanx dude... I just finished installing my kenstyle kit about a hour ago. I'll post updated pix soon.

 

cool, looking forward to your pix.

 

WOOT! nice! please post pics. How much did the doors cost you? I am thinking very seriously about doing Wing doors. Not sure what quality I can get.

 

thanx dude, it cost me like 800 or 900 bucks... i forget.

 

how about the installation?? I am not a "do it yourself" kind of guy heh.

 

Well I installed them myself. I have heard quotes not counting the cost of the kit ranging from 1000 - 2000 k. It really is not that hard of a install. I did a write up for a DIY install for my website, but have not got around to uploading it yet.

 

WOW, install 3 times more than the parts heh screw that. I will learn how to install it
