Tips for Installing Lamborghini Doors
Lamborghini doors, also known as lambo doors, vertical doors that open from bottom to top, rather than open outward as most doors. Lambo doors began appearing on street racers in the 1980s, and have since grown in popularity. They are so popular that now you can walk into a customized car shop, buy a kit off the shelf, and take it home yourself. Unfortunately this leads to many do it yourself type people who think that they are capable of installing the doors themselves, when it should really be done by a professional.
According to the ads, and even some of the boxes, lambo doors can be easily installed with a free weekend, and a few tools. Proponents of lambo doors also claim that it's a quick alternative to making your car feel like a Lamborghini without the $500,000+ price tag. Lambo doors mimic the upward swinging doors of a Lamborghini, and can be added to some models of cars. These same people also claim that the doors are completely undetectable until you open it, and will not cause any damage to the car.
Lambo doors come in a car conversion kit, and are available from most auto stores that sell customized car parts, or can be special ordered by most auto body shops. Prices start at around $1,500 for the most basic kit, and can reach over $3,000 for more expensive cars like a Corvette or Porsche. You can purchase a bolt on application kit if you decide to do the project yourself, but it's a very involved process. One wrong step and you could do serious damage to your car.
If you do decide to have the lambo doors installed on your car, you need to be very careful. Sometimes its easy to forget how the doors open, and too much pressure can cause problems with the hinges, especially if the doors were installed incorrectly. You may also find yourself surrounded by people who want to know how you did it, and just as many people asking why you would throw away your money. The later is a popular train of thought lately, as lambo doors, which were once a sign of luxury, are now turning up on less than luxurious cars. Think of how you would feel if you saw lambo doors on a Ford Escort.
Lambo doors are popular, but before making a decision you should search around and see if the doors will even fit on your car. Then look for examples of your car with the doors. You may discover that you don't like the look, and it isn't worth the investment. Most of all, make sure that the lambo doors are installed by a trained professional.
