Default Lambo door xB

After 6 months of dealing with several lambo door companies, I have finally managed to get them on my xB. Vertical Doors Inc took on the job but it wasn't easy. The space between the chassis of the car and the body is only 3 inches or so. Not enough for the hinge to swing the door out far enough to go up. So we are currently making all new fiberglass fenders that will have a long vent where the hinge needs to come out. Another problem they had was the space between the two stock hinges was massive. Longer than the kit for the F-150. They had to re-design the whole hinge. Once the fenders are done the kit will be available but will be around $2,300.00. A couple of pics are one TeamScionWest.com, more to follow!

Thats alot of money and alot of work just for some doors to go in a different direction......id rather have suicide doors over vertical style doors any day of the week

Plus I think Vertical doors only look good on cars that actually came with them....that is my 5 cents worth

Default DOORS

I think thats is awesome! Another example of how the Xb is really turning into a vehicle that the customizers love to play with! More power to the dreamers that love to tinker and modify! Id love to see a build up set of pics and , of course, the finished product! Thanks and keep up the good work! X BOXX

looks like you gotta shimmy into your car, doesn't leave you much room to get into it from the looks of the picture.

I agree, in fact might go with doing that later on. As for the lambo style doors, I think it looks good on some cars but not so on a xb. How do you install something that came from a $200K + sports car onto a $15K box sedan

Im not gonna talk bad about the whole thing cuz it really comes down to the person who is driving it. I think they put alot of time into that and deserve some credit on it. It looks nice and all but its just not something I would do to a $15k box. You just put over 10% of your car price into modding the doors. I just hope it was worth it.

i love the way those doors look on something like a supra, but sorry to say i think it looks butt-ugly on the xB, they don't flow right, and the short fat door makes it look really funny

glad you got them in a sponsored deal, i'l be ____SSSED if i spent $2300 + install and paint on that kit and then saw the final result - but that's just one guys opinion

i'm sure you'll get some points from the show judges tho for the originality

Most custom show cars have mods worth way more than the car is worth...Thats the point! Thats why we customize our stock cars, we like to personalize it the way we want. I like vertical doors. Does it look right on the xB? I think so. It looks the same as it would be on any other car. Some people can argue that suicide door belong only on Hot Rods, but people do it.

All I can say is, good job Darrell... Your gonna steal the show with that mod hands down whether people like it or not.
