Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Lamborghini Doors...Where to find them

hey. i have a 2000 celica gts and i really want the lambo doors. can any of you tell me a real reliable place to buy them and approximately how much they would cost to buy and install them...im not gonna put them on myself but roughly how much a body shop would install it for me. there was a post up here before about not getting them from a certain store, what was that store called? well hope i can get some reliable information. thanks.

heres a group buy for it:

https://celicahobby.com/ubbthreads/...amp;Main=24733&Search=true#Post24750

Yeah, check out the GB...it's starting August 1st. Other than that it's gonna cost ya 1900 from Carexcess, the best company who makes them

I wouldn't ever get those doors unless I was putting my car in car shows honestly. The cost doesn't justify the end result.

I can get lambo doors from Autoloc, for about $3000

Springmans Paint/Killer Kustoms in Muncy PA also sells them. They have a new redesign of their kit that is a good, solid kit. I can get one for you that will kill the group buy price. Some people talk shit on Springmans because of past expericence with there first set of Hinges (yes they have had some problems with it) but there new kit has all the bugs worked out and have no problems what so ever.

I am getting the new kit put on my car in 2 weeks as i have their old kit.

PM me for more info as there special price for the kit is for only the first 5 that is sold.

Jamey

don't pay that much! a kit from carexcess.com is only 1900 and only takes about 3 hours to install and a shop deffinetly isnt gonna charge you more than $200 to install it

or get them in the group buy that phatcelly is organizing and pay even less

The only differences between, Auto loc and Springmans is Auto loc is ALOT flimsier...But, they are both still Crap

does the kit from carexcess.com have to be opened all by hand? i mean like can you open it half way and then have the door open up the rest of the way automatically like by hydraulics or something?

It's all manual...Carexcess is actually beginning to develop an automatic add-on for the kit. The only kit that is automatic right now is Autoloc...but it sucks and is really flimsy

how long will it be untill carexcess comes out with the automatic add ons?

No Idea man, it's still in the designing stage

here are the specs on the Autoloc Kit:

AutoLoc's patented universal design insures proper fit and a long life of smooth operation. AutoLoc's patented assistence strut offers smooth door raising action, and a long life of pain free operation.This kit can also be activated via remote for remote opening and closing of the doors. For ease of installation this kit utilizes your factory latch and door opening. To insure maximum quality each kit is CAD/CAM designed in the USA! Featuring a patented 3 hinge assembly with steal reinforcements, heavy duty steal mounting plate, 2 gas struts, and mounting assembly. AutoLoc's patented 3 way adjustments insures easy fine tuning after final installation. Available for all cars and trucks.

i am an authorized dealer. your price $2500

Hahahahaha, most of us have seen the videos for that kit. It's a freakin joke!!! Wobbling, waving and just silly looking. 2500 for a kit like that or 1500 for a kit the quality of decah...hmmmmm

im with phatcelly on that. i'd luv to get in with the GB but i figure i cant be doing that stuff just yet since my car modifications are still in premature stages. i only got a veilside kit and sound system so far so i cant be fiddling weiht my doors just yet BUt i will for sure be going for those doors when the right time comes!

I don't think there is any way I would ever get lambo doors put on, I saw some videos of people who had lambo doors and it looks like you have to be extremely careful w/ them. Plau I read a story here about a guy who had them and when he went to open them up one time the whole door fell off damaging the sideskirt the fender and the door. Too much of a risk for me

yea what everyone else says

I wish I was able to do a video of how I handle my doors on my DAILY DRIVER.

How do you handle them?

Not like they're made of glass...I use them like a door, out and up, down and in, Slam it shut

how hard is it to get in and out of them?

Really quite easy...once you get used to the new way to get in. I just helped a 40 yr. old friend in my car club put these on his car. He is very happy with the quality, fit and was surprised at the ease of getting in and out

Forty years old. It sounds like you have a youngin there to me.

for all those who have the lambo doors and have installed it themselves, how hard was the installations? did you come across and problems during and after installations?

Not me, or the 7 others, I've helped install the only other on this board that has them is comicbookguy, and I'm redoing his for him probabably

im guessing that you have the training and knowledge to be able to do that? i wanna get the doors but i dont want to pay for the freakin service to have them put in.

i was ok doing it with a buddie of mine and turned out good so far
