You can't really see if they leave enough room to get in and out of the car that's the issue with this doors. Also if the rear door will open or not.

army_rx8 06-14-2005 04:19 PM

hehe so if you are a contorsionist (spelling?) no worries :p

XDEEDUBBX 06-14-2005 04:31 PM

gross...

breezy_rx8 06-14-2005 05:11 PM

2399 plus shipping, has anybody found a cheaper price? This seems a bit high unless MTV is buying them for your ride...

breezy_rx8 06-14-2005 05:13 PM

Oops, that was 2299, still I would like to see a G knocked off of this price. I wonder if there will be any GBs on this...

storemannormin 06-15-2005 12:12 PM

If you guys check my thread lambo doors I bought them for 1599 they are awesome...and there is plenty of room....

VEILSIDERX8 06-15-2005 07:34 PM

stormin, ure vertical doors, aren't they a universal kit? the reason why these doors cost 2300 bux is because they are designed exclusively for the rx-8 (or so they claim).

veilside, ure doors are they universal also?

VEILSIDERX8 06-17-2005 10:10 PM

yes my doors are a universal kit.

j-apex rx 06-17-2005 11:13 PM

Anyone have pics of clear corner,s would love to see them....And yes my lambo hinges are made for the RX_8 I paid 1509 U.S...They gave me a deal for trades of my ride.

GrRx8MaZdA 06-20-2005 06:11 PM

GrRx8MaZdA 06-21-2005 03:49 AM

God this is the same kit i have in my room and i was going to sell it...Damn...Its excellent...Did anyone spoke about clearance problems with lambos on 8???hehehehe...
i am installing it soon!!!!Thank god i didn't sell it!!

GrRx8MaZdA 06-21-2005 06:16 AM

Although i have a question..where are the struts in the door????I have the kit and they have 2 struts in each door...Where are the struts located???I can't see them

storemannormin 06-21-2005 09:27 AM

The struts is what makes the door feel weightless when you open them...they are hidden in the fender..

XDEEDUBBX 06-21-2005 10:18 AM

yup...you've spent some money on your car!

storemannormin 06-21-2005 10:27 AM

Hey veilside what is the clearance on your car with that body kit on. I think that is all that is missing on mine

VEILSIDERX8 06-21-2005 11:27 AM

2.5 inches at the lowest point. When you open the door you will either have to hold it until fully open or invest in actuators, because if you dont you will probably rip the fender off of the car, keep in mind it is around 250 pounds of pressure behind those struts.

storemannormin 06-21-2005 11:58 AM

HEy Veilside I meant the clearance on you bodykit to the ground..I already have lambo doors.

VEILSIDERX8 06-21-2005 12:13 PM

Two And A Half Inches From The Ground, Thanks To The Coil Overs

storemannormin 06-21-2005 01:02 PM

WOW that is low..I don't think in my area I could have it. We have very shitty road.

GrRx8MaZdA 06-21-2005 05:04 PM

Ηey veilside...The gt factory kit had 4 struts in the box right???You installed them right???So the door can hold up and open-close easy right??No extra force needed to open or close or hold it open right???strong mechanism...

BlueEyes 06-21-2005 05:14 PM

I love these Lambo doors on Lambos.

GrRx8MaZdA 06-22-2005 07:14 AM

I ll install gt factory kit in 2 weeks...many many pics from all the angles...Also thanks veilsiderx8 for the pics...I wait for the fender pic... ;)

I saw an rx8 with lambo doors this weekend at a car meet. I didn't get a chance to meet the owner but it looked good. There was alot of room to get in/out.

Pictures are from my camera phone.
I have no info on brand or cost, sorry.

GrRx8MaZdA 06-22-2005 12:03 PM

^ I believe this is the gt factory kit too....

Here are the pics from VeilsideRx8 car...The best kit ever...I have it :D

Why is the left half of you camera out of focus?

GrRx8MaZdA 06-22-2005 12:28 PM

All this awesome pics and this is your question?????LOL

adrian-1 06-22-2005 12:31 PM

camera phone, the lens is probably dirty.

storemannormin 06-22-2005 12:59 PM

The only problem is how do you close those gt diablo doors from the inside...you can't reach the handle......Mine you can..that is the difference betweend both hinges.

BlueEyes 06-22-2005 02:22 PM

you probably do what the lambo's do, and put a leather strap somewhere. Then again, I have yet to see one of these kits that offers anywhere near the looks or operation of the real thing, so who knows.

ElusiveFX 06-22-2005 11:28 PM

I dont think the Gt factory one is bolt on, but boy does it look good :D

GrRx8MaZdA 06-23-2005 02:55 AM

It is not bolt on..In the site they say so but its for commercial only...
Anyway...It needs a lot of job...I recently send the kit to the bodyshop which wil install mine and they told me they need a lot of job.And they also need arrounc 900+ usd to install it....Wow..The price of the kit twice...Anyway i hope that money will be the last spend this year...

storemannormin 06-23-2005 08:42 AM

mine were designed for the rx-8...they were a bolt on also...

HI may I seek some advice from the members who had the vertical door kit

From the below pictures, one can clearly see the diff between the door kit offer by 2 difference companys

1st picture show that the hinge is a C shape design, and the door is being support by this Cshape thing.
https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...chmentid=53234
http://www.bonkee.com/GigaBonkee/use...MaZdA/ffbe.jpg


and 2nd picture show that the door is support by the hydraulic piston
http://elusivefx.com/v-web/gallery/a...cl48.sized.jpg

I;m going to buy one set of the door kit but do not know which is better. so many companies selling and do not know who to buy from

Can anyone advice?

Thanks
Morgan

GrRx8MaZdA 06-24-2005 01:54 PM

The first kit also has 2 struts per door....The first need a lot of job and professional job...But has the best final...

07rx8 07-10-2007 04:07 PM

hey nice car.. i wanna do my car just like that but i cant find any lambo doors...can you help me find one cheapest one too...thanks

Sykotic 07-11-2007 02:43 PM

I just saw some dope shaved lambos, they make auto versions?

ac3mastuh 07-11-2007 03:46 PM

trust me, go with gt factory because the other kits just don't look right or its nearly impossible to get in and out of the car

they have a new bolt-on kit which my car was used to prototype with so take a look at gtfactory.jp and give them a call

Razz1 07-11-2007 08:06 PM

I was impressed with the GT's when I saw them.

chickenwafer 07-13-2007 01:07 PM

GT Factory is top notch. They are also the only one that offers a lifetime warranty on the hinges

GrRx8MaZdA 07-13-2007 01:14 PM

Gt factory is the best but need a VERY PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION or you might have problems...I am going to install second strut in each door and i made new panels on the door cause i had clearance problem when it was fully open and made some scratches...
