Lambo Style Vertical Door Conversion Kit
I had been deciding what to buy either a GOOD bodykit or a Lambo Door kit.
Finally I had decided to buy a Lambo Style Vertical Door Conversion Kit

They told me that the Hydraulic shocks are 1800 lbs PSI, so it will be and eas opening and closing the doors. therefore not much strenght required.

Bro, just make sure the hinge is rock solid sturdy. I've seen one too many Tuscani with super flimsy doors after they get the vertical doors. Personally, I don't think it's practical and the wow factor wears off after a while, but that's just me. Whatever you decide to spend money on, juz ENJOY IT!!!

US$1000 shipped to USA C.A and www.vpostusa.com will then mail it to me.
Used Vpostusa cos the company wanted US$350 to mail it directly from USA to Spore.

Nothing is Practical. Buying a RX8 is not practical cos we do not need an RX8 that burn 6.5km per litre of fuel to travel around in Singapore.
Buying a Toyota Vios that burn 15km/Litre of fuel is more pratical.
Wow factor only wears out on the same person who had sees it everyday. but there are 3-4million people in Singapore and not everyone gets to see one and most of them never get to see one before or touch one before. :D
P.S Plus theres another tne plus millions across the CauseWay.

That is sweeeeeet
I saw a pic of a celica like that before, and I asked if it could have been done for mine. (That was in 2003) But my friend who owns a workshop say cannot leh.
But. unless the owner is really skinny. The car may look glam, but the person coming out from it may not.

NICE!!! :D Me like! :p
Is your kit with an 'L' hinge? I.e. does the door open normally before swinging up? That's a better design cos u can always open the doors normally, and save the swing up for special occasions - like meets! :D
What's the shipping cost?

There are too many companies selling this kind of door kit, and most of them do not provide enough info.
But according to the seller, they said that I could still enter the car without having the door in the vertical position. May just have to do it slowly cos it can only open to around 20-30 degrees in the horizontal position.
These 20-30 degrees is ok with me cos the kit solve all my problems as most of the time the car is park very close to another one in the carpark, and the rear passenger would have problem exiting the car.
Just visualise. driver can still exit car car with only the front door open to 20 degrees, but the rear passenger would have difficulties when u open up both the front and rear door to only around 20 degrees.

Look like the usual lot of hoops to jump through to get anything done in SG. I think LTA is saying that they will allow you to do things to your car IF you can be bothered to go through all the trouble to get it certified. If not, then it falls back to the "do anything you want, just don't get caught" theory, but don't the crime if you can't pay the fine (SG version). IMHO, just don't do illegal mods lor... save yourself from all the trouble and fear of getting caught. Just put the money towards good legal mods instead. Just my 2c...
