seems like a good price, but i don't know anything about lambo doors. thx for posting the video, but personally i'd want them to go UP further, seems to be a tight squeeze.
anyway, bump.

Bump:
i have this same kit on since it first came out over 4 years ago. no problems, other than the drivers side door shock is weaker now than the passengers. this is because it is a daily driver.
when i bought this kit directly from VDC it was almost 1900. now it is alot cheaper. still around 1400.
this is a direct bolt on, does take about 6 or so hours. you have to remove the front bumper and fenders. tape the door shut, securely with a good non paint destroying tape. remove the stock hinges, install the new hinges, run up adjustments to stops, and test door. you will have to extend your wiring harnesses to each door OR pull the slack out of the boots and secure it. over the past two years, i have switched to multi flex cable consisting of multi conductors. this is because the wires are not made to flex like that, and eventually things stop working, windows, stereo, locks etc. with the multi flex cable no problems.
OH, you will also have to roll the inner lip of the front fenders where the hinges are. this will allow the door hinge not to rub when going up and out, as well as flex when opening to move it upwards.
on another positive note: i can open and close these doors from inside the car no problem. i dont have to open slightly get out and raise as you do with other kits. one handed operation.
my kids love them, and especially feel "BAD" when i drop or pick them up from school!
