Moved to DC.

kraxylowgsx has them on his. They have actually been done quite a few times.
Personally I don't think they look right on a 4 door. But, he won 1st place at Scion Exposed in Dallas in xB Wild, so he must be doing something right........lol.

Crap, I can't remember this guy's name for the life of me, but this is from a show in Indianapolis. I do agree that they don't look right on a 4-door.

OK got it. It's "lunchbx05" I know it is a bolt-in kit. Try PM-ing him.

Rather than looking, you could just click the link below to pm him:

Rather than a Lambo style door I'd rather see a gullwing style. Something akin to the DeLorean. Get all 4-doors to do that and you'd really have something different.

Good freakin luck. The window sills were not built to support the load of the entire door. Then again, there's the "with enough money, anything is possible" quote.

You dont want the lambo doors. Every single xb I have seen with them is hacked. The interior door panels rub the fenders when up, the hinges on most have to be shaved so they dont hit the fender.... I have yet to see one that is perfect...

The guy with the kit that I posted a pic of earlier said that his had no rubbing and no issues. I'm just passing this along since he has not posted here yet.
