lambo door kit

My question for the people who have the door kit, how long did it take you to put on. Its a bolt on kit not just a universal. Other question I have is how do you think it would look on my balt? Of course I will have other mods done too.

im speaking from kits Ive helped install on other cars. Most times there is some trimming required just inside the fender, you will never see it outside but it is so the hinge can swinge freely and un-obstructed

I have the jt autosports lambo kit and it is a bolt-on kit but you need to shave the rolled edge of the fenders down to the edge.
You need to take off the L bracket located in the middle of the fender as it interferes with the swing arm. I used a drill to drill out the spot welds a flathead and hammer to chisel off the bracket.
It was my first time ever installing a door kit so the right side took a while to adjust. And figure out how to get slack in the wiring harness.
All in all it took me about 10 hours to install most of the time spent was figuring out how to take the doors apart. Mounting the kit and adjusting the allen bolts (fine trim adjustments) Was pretty easy. You need a friend to help you hold the door.

So when they say this is a bolt-on kit with no welding or cutting that is not true at all. Maybe that description has to do with mounting the kit which is true. It's just everthing else you got to cut up.

1. You should drop your car....

2. Most kits as said ^^ do need to have some kind of work to get them to fit well and correctly.. ect...
3. Autoloc, Vertical doors, and Jt are all good companies for the doors.
4. I thinkk your car will look good with it once its dropped... either do coilovers or springs...

Well put it this way, if u buy a cheap kit, your gunna get cheap and broken struts or hinges. Then you have the problem on aligning every so often so they fit right.

That kit looks great. so you didnt have to extend the wires? Also thanks for the info about the bracket needing to be removed.

just pop the wire clips off from the inside of the door to give you enough slack to put the door up

It will do about a 1" drop and thats all i can really do with where i have to drive, thats why i eventually want to get an air bag kit so i can raise and lower it.
