New Auto shifter and Lambo doors
 
OK, I'm turning 25 tomorrow and decided to get me a nice bday present by installing carbon fiber auto shifter and lambo doors. But the dilemma is, where can I order these parts online?????? THanks in advance

well the vertical hinges you wanna get from a reputable place, not to mention them being a reputable brand. Careful with that ebay crap, it can turn around to bite you in the arse. I got my Vertical Doors Inc kit from a shop, which actually got them for less than the msrp. So i suggest you check with your local shops as they may already have a relatonship with the suppliers and thus might be able to get you a deal.

The lambo door kit (singular) I've seen in person did not have very good fitment, making it nearly impossible to close the door without dinging the paint. I understand they make better ones now, but be very careful about which one you get. Personally, I wouldn't get a lambo kit until i saw it on an 8, working flawlessly. Even then I'd want the same shop to install the kit that did on the 8 i saw it working on.

happy bday...good luck w/he lambo doors mything but im sure you'll be happy w/it. As far as shift knob try doing a search on google to get mutliple listing and styles, ebay is also a great place to look also there is a "show me your shift knob" or soemthing like that might want to start there and see what people have and what perks your interest.

There are several members on here who have lambo doors. I will echo what most say in that you MUST get a decent kit. Some are meant to fit several different cars and make it slightly awkward to open or close the doors. (Hinges don't move in a natural way when seated in the driver's seat for example) Some go totally vertical and others open just enough for you to easily get into the car. I would definitely do some serious research before settling on a particular kit. Be aware that good kits are not cheap. We're talking well into 4 figures here.

they're called scissor doors by the way. lambo doors wouldn't fit on a mazda just like ford doors wouldn't fit on a ferrari. makes sense? no?

lambo was not the first to come up with that concept. plus lambo's are italian crap. my friend had one and she it broke down all the time. lesson: get a ferrari.
she got rid of it and got a 7 series beamer instead

so the consensus is that GT Factory Diablo Door System gives the best clearance? from what i found on the forum...
