I've installed a few sets of lambo doors at my work some vehicle specific and some universal. I've been debating about putting them in my cars for months now and I'm still not sure. But I can tell you this do not and I repeat do not use the Auto-Loc Kit it is worthless. I've used Decah and Vertical Doors absolutley Identical Hinges shocks may be different however. I've even custom install ones for a civic on a mercury cougar which was a real pain. But I must say if you take the time to adjust them properly they work mint. Now the SVX stock hinges are a pretty straight hinge from what I can tell meaning the bolt holes are directly above each other on the door side which is a good thing because all the kits I've seen the hinges are like that and just so happens the coougars were on like a 30 degree angle from one another. I havn't had the time but I need to measure distances from hinge to hinge and I'm hoping it's relativley close to the span on the Navigator cuz that door ways a ton and the kit I installed in the Navi was amazing, I could lift the door with one finger and shut it the same way. It came with 720lbs Pistons. and most of the imports come with 420 or 560's. So hopefully I'll find the right kit to make it easy on erveryone. If anyone near the area wants them we'll do them I've just been to busy to pusue it on my own time. I'll check the prices tommarrow but I know even first time doing a specific car our prices are considerably lower than the ones above. And for anyone attempting it on there own be aware you have to extend all the wires going into your doors about 12 -16 inches it isnt fun.

Awesome! I'm definitely interested in what you find out. It would be even better if we had schematics so we could fabricate them.

I know you just got it,

But it's time to end the debate. Just do it!

There is no debate that the SVX community wants an affordable and well-engineered lambo door kit. This has been the topic of several threads.

Why not develop and market it yourself?

They will make them for any new application, if 12 people put down some green.

KAMzilla77 to the rescue? Anyone? Hello!

I'm currently working on the conversion.

I've removed the fender and door hinges only to find that the clearance required on the kit I bought (GT Factory - same one of that link you sent) will require some serious modification to the car.

The hinge is bulky and I'm hoping the angle for the door to open normally will be small enough that the hinge doesn't interfere with the fender. We have two kits at my job that I was playing with. One the GT factory (which I'd prefer) the other a decah kit for a 2003 Mitsu Eclipse. Now - let me say that the eclipse will bolt directly up to the stock door hinge holes. Except you have to bore out the holes slightly. This is promising as it makes it a lot easier just to line up the assembly holes to the car behind the fender.

But I'm currently working with the GT kit. I'll keep you guys informed but it's been a while since I played with it. I'll just say that it is an extreme PAIN in the ___ with the GT Kit. It looks as though a decah kit for an 03 eclipse is the way to go with only minor modifications and will not require any welding ....we shall see
