Guys,

I apologize for not replying sooner but very busy at work.

First, let me say that lambo doors on the SVX have been done (not perfectly) but notheless done!



This image was my inspiration! A couple of points:

1) My car will look like this by the end of the year ;-) but better!
2) The doors weigh closer to 200lbs
3) The require 300ft pd dual struts to easy lift and maintain a 90 degree angle and lift.
4) The best kit is sold in CA (the only one I would ever recommend) for $1000.
5) Proper installation (in the US) should cost $1000-1500, depending on where you are and who is doing it. The price is high because of the steel safty beams that go through the doors for structural integrity (more work to dismantle and install than a civic)

Side note - the company that you can buy the kit from will also recommend an installer if one is available in your area.

6) the lambo car kit in this picture was purchased and installed for $2000 (not the CA company) and the doors issues staying up and closing properly. So be careful, all lambo kits are not alike and more importantly- you get what you pay for!

Good luck and if I can help you in any way, PM me.

PM'ed you, of course ...
