ok, this thread is for people that own lambo doors, i got a few questions

1) What company is your lambo kit?
2) Do they align right?
3) Do you have to adjust them?
4) Did you ever have problems with the kit?
5) How long was the install?
6) What was the difficulty level on installing them?
7) Do you have to extend the wires in the doors, when installing?

bump for the day crew

 

I don't have lambo doors but I can answer a few of your questions.

3)yes
4)probably nothing a little trouble shooting can't fix
5)expect it to take up your saturday
6)1-10 about a 6
7)yes

I've done this on a civic and an integra. The problems were similar on both and I don't see why the Cobalt would be any different. I also recommend doing this with a buddy, actually I don't know how you would do it alone.

 

I want Lambos someday down the line

I want Lambos someday down the line

 

me too. as soon as i can afford a lambo that comes with them

 

I just installed them on saturday. I bought a Vertical Doors Inc. kit. The install was pretty simple. It took about an hour to get the new hinges mounted. The wire extending took the longest. The adjustment with the Vertical doors inc. kit was simple.

 

how much did that kit cost you?
and i heard somtimes the kits break(hinges) true or not?

 

ooh good topic i want a lambalt too!!!

 

yeah i found a kit for like 600 bucks but i am staying away from that may be too weak and cheap

 

1)Vertical Doors Inc
2) They align right now
3) Adjust them to shut right
4) on problem was i had to grind the hinge down aginst the door to bring the door in closer
5) Took about a day to get one on and about 2 hours for the second lol
6) not all that difficult just time comsuming
7) I found another inch or 2 inside the door for the wires

 

how much did that kit cost you playwitcars??? would you consider it as the best kit avaliable ? how much do you think a shop could ask for some work like this ?

 

I also want lambo doors, but my concern is how much do you have to mess with the front quarter panel?

 

The kit cost me 1326.00 Shipped. I dont really seeing the hinges breaking with this kit because they are beefy...10x thicker then the stock hinge.


I had to remove the front fender completly. Its not too hard really. 10 bolts and its off. I had to trim the inner fender to clear the new hinge but its only about 3" worth. Its not even noticeable..

 

got pics?^^^^^^

 

well i havent messed with any other kits so i couldnt tell you which is the best. But the kit on verticaldoors is pricey. But like anything you get what you pay for. And i had shops estimate anywhere from $500 to $1000 to install. But i did mine myself.

 

Any pics?

^^ X2 the CA kit says some minor cutting is involved

 

well you do have to cut the fenders with any kit

 

i want lambos but their so freakin expensive

 

i was waiting all day for you to answer this post, until i saw it now, i knew u had em and couldnt find ur profile to ask you, what did u pay for the vertical kit? and how is cobalt addictions lambo kit?

 

I was gonna take pics of my install and step by step process of installing them. Then my camera batterys went dead. I will get some pics soon....

 

yeah i was going to take pics too but i got lazy haha

 

PlaysWitCars, do you have a close-u pic of the trimming involved in this ? like how big the gap is when the door is closed?

 

i can take a close up pic of the inside of my fender where i cut it....My door when closed sits pretty damn close from how it did stock

 

You trim about 3-4" of metal off the inner fender...You cant even see it when the door is closed. When its open you would have to climb behind the door to see it. Its only a section of the inner fender so it allows the door to open before you pull up. Its no big deal at all..

 

so i would not need to repaint the fender? WOOT
