Lambo door kits?
Does anyone have a vertical door kit on there SVX? My door hinges are acting up and I've been considering replacing them. I was wondering if anyone had done this successfully? I think it would look really good. Lemme know, Thanks!

Re: Lambo door kits?
a few older members that are no longer on the forums have done them, if you look in the old lockers under Mr. Pwrlite he had them done and if you search the forums you will find more pictures from a few other members who had done them. I plan to do it in the future to my SVX but it's kind of at the bottom of my list of priorities after all my performance mods(engine build, turbo, tranny build, suspension upgrades)
If you're interested in a kit they are typically going to be weld on only kits with some fab involved to make them fit right. If you find a bolt on kit for the SVX chances are it's really not that great of a kit. If you're going to do it, I'd recommend going with a quality product i.e. GT Factory or Vertical Doors inc. I am getting accounts set up with them as we speak so if you're interested shoot me a pm. Right now isn't the best time to buy however they are at full price they usually go on special during the holidays for 50% off. |

Re: Lambo door kits?
how did I know this was gonna come up... call it a rice mod call it outplayed, but honestly just because someone does it wrong or on a car it doesn't fit on doesn't mean it's a dumb mod. It's personal preference, honestly though if you look at the design of the car it fits the SVX well, where as a short stubby doored Civic it looks ridiculous. the mclaren f1 has the split windows like the SVX as well as vertical doors and looks awesome
granted they did more of a gull style door I personally think the SVX looks good with the vertical style |

The problem, if you can call it a problem, is that the SVX is NOT like these other vehicles driven by gold chain wearing cocaine dealers. (I.E. Lamborghini). It's not a low slung, mid engined sports car. It is a front engined GT car like a Lexus coupe, BMW 6 series, etc. It just does not have the stance to pull it off. Mid engine supercars designed by Bertone are only allowed to do this. it sort of like Audrey Hepburn wearing Cher's tacky gown from the 1987 Oscars. |
