LOL!!!

I am curious as I seach eBay all the time and see those silly items listed. I am assuming it is a universal hinge kit that you have to somehow "mold" into your car.

Someone on here will find a pic or do it sooner or later, then we can all all over it.

There is a slight sliver of my imagination that thinks they might look ok, but I doubt it. But by no means am I trying to discourage you.

It looks tacky, you can tell by the middle of the door that it wasn't made to swing up. Looks like it's going to fall off the car.

I think they look pretty cool. Not sure if I would want to do it to my car but it does look cool.

Those aren't "lambo" doors. Lamborghini doors open verticle. Those doors "butterfly" out.

Interesting note:
Lamborghini doors are nicknamed "scissor" doors beacuase of their affect should a hinge fail.

Joke? Or is there a new Knight Rider series/movie coming out? (I'm a big fan)
I heard that they were tossing around the idea of a movie.

Tell me that wouldnt turn heads...


Only thing is, I wouldnt spend a couple grand doing it if I was gonna do it. No crazy hinge alone would suit me. I would do a hydrolic type setup, push a button, the door unlatches, moves out about 2 inches, then auto-swings up. But your not goona do that for anywhere near 1200 bucks, or without serious structural modification.

It would definitely turn heads, but I could not justify the costs. A good show mod for sure.

That is pretty sweet. Too much money tho. If it could be done for under 1000, I would think about it.

I'm not a big fan--looks cheesy IMO.

To each his own, I guess.
