I guess im not active lol. The kit I have is gt factory and uses a 250lb and 150lb shock on each door and you can lift it with one finger and if you dont want to lift you can still slide out. Cons are they are weld ons and when the shocks go out you have to change them out. Another con is from personal experience. If you ever get pulled over tell the officer that you have lambo doors so he wont suspect you of grabbing for something when you lift the door up!

I want a lambo kit just worried about instillation. A suicide kit would be cool too.

If you can weld I dont think it would be too hard. The kit I have you can align the door after its been welded. I can drop my door almost as low as the side skirt and lift it higher than the door latch... Gt factory

I was gonna mention you DRuben. I've seen a lot of cars with them and I feel If you have the money go for it. But like others said our doors are really heavy so make sure you get a quality kit.

I was going to post that picture too but the one I'd found sai overrated instead of played out. My opinion is like th epic says they're too played out.

I wouldnt get a bolt on because of the weight of our doors. A bolt on is best for Hondas and smaller vehicles imo. You CAN get one but they require more adjusting but a good thing about bolt on is you can remove it and install your original hinges.

A $1000+ to have scissor doors and the most it gets is "WOW, that's neat" as you get in and out of the car. Plus most people find over time they have issues (I know one guy personally that did it to a 5th gen Camaro and was happy to trade the car in as the doors were no longer closing right).
Better mods for the money.
