Far as I can tell - they are both the same thing - just from (2) different manufacturers, with (2) different prices. One offers a nice warranty - the other doesn't mention any.

I'd be pretty curious myself as to why the same product is $1K more from the one mfg. to the other? Is this a case of 'you get what you pay for' or inflated pricing by one mfg.? Both say they are CNC machined.

I'd say you should contact both mfg. and find out any/all differences and then make your decision from there.

I personally have seen (2) types of lambo kits for the T/A:

1. Door only opens up/closes vertically (you must do mods to front fender for this kit).
2. Door first slightly opens 'out' as normal, then up vertically. Closes down vertically, and then 'in' as normal. (Supposedly no mods to body panels for this one).

I'm actually not a lover of lambo doors period (except on a real Lamborghini ) - seen them on quite a few different type of cars - really didn't care for them - especially for the $$ they cost. I take my T/A to Trophy Car Shows almost exclusively - never saw a car with lambo doors win I have won over cars with lambo doors quite frequently - and I don't have them.

Just my opinion though, everyone has different tastes - that's what makes your car more individual to you...
