The only bad thing is the shocks going out but I have 2 extra of each to be safe. When it does you will know one of them is out either by seeing the gas coming out or by the weight of the door. I replaced both on my drivers door and tried to lift it up without the shocks and it was super heavy!!! They did do some fender work so behind the fender is nothing, nk padding or whatever comes on it. We had a party at our house and someone propped themselves on my fender and now I have some dents but its not that bad.

ive looked into it, in fact emencly into it. lambos are easy, bolt on kits, gonna run you 900-1300$ they are basicly bolt on kits. the gull wings are the hard ones, ive seen maybe 1 monte that did it and it's not an easy thing to do authentic gull wing doors. they are like 90 lb doors and their isnt much to go on that frame.

Its going to be one of those mods where either people will love them or hate them. Personally I think they look terrible but other people tend to like them. Be prepared for people making fun of you, it will happen but if you like them thats all that matters. Definately do yourself a favor and have them done so everything lines up nice and doesnt rub. The only thing that looks worse than aftermarket verticle doors are poorly fitting aftermarket verticle doors.

For sure you have to mod your car to suit yourself everyone is different. A lot of members don't like my gold wheels and that is ok... I like them and that is all that matters.

first off tadcaster, i LOVE your hood lol. the company that makes the hing actually wants to sponcer my car and it would cost me 1400 parts and labor installed with lifetime worry free replacement and parts and labor. thats a **** ton of money(more then my wheels!) but i go to shows every weekend so i may get the bolt on kit installed. the installer i talked to does multiple kits a month and ive seen his work. hes very clean and even has HIS show car in magazines.
