Anyone thought of the lambo doors? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**BOSS** · 04-14-2004, 10:16 PM

Just wondering if anyone else was looking into these kits they are selling,and what they would look like on our trucks?Give your opinions on what you think about them?Kinda pricey!!!!Can't someone here fab up a kit for alot less?I would be willing to try it on one of my trucks.............lol

roj2323 · 04-14-2004, 10:26 PM

suicide doors maybe. lambo doors never. why ruin a perfectly good truck with an ugly mod like that.
just my opinion take it as you like.

Let me get this straight'

"You want to imitate a ricer?"

super_kev · 04-15-2004, 12:34 AM

We need that smily like on other forums that holds a sign pointing up to the previous post and says "I'm with stupid"

If you want to be different, do it some other way... paint your truck pink with a white leather interior.

Seriously, there are a hundred other ways to make your truck look different from "everybody else."

1969 GMC · 04-15-2004, 12:35 AM

i think that lambo style doors on our trucks would be a pain in the ass to use...you have to let it open all the way, get in, then close it...wouldnt that take a while?
since our truck doors are taller than wider, I don't think it would be a good idea.

Sweet72 · 04-15-2004, 02:21 AM

You'll be doin' the limbo gettin' in and out of those lambo doors dude. Just say no to the lambo doors.

rambler · 04-15-2004, 10:33 AM

what the heck are lambo doors?

I wouldn't call a Lamborghini a ricer, more of a Pasta!

super_kev · 04-15-2004, 10:39 AM

Lambo = Lamborghini. Doors on exotic sports cars that flip up, instead of swinging out. Import guys are installing them on their cars, so that's why he said ricer.

sneakysnake · 04-15-2004, 10:40 AM

The only problem I see with the idea,(fashion taste not being an issue as in the other posts) is I dont think the window rail would support the weight of the door without some kind of reinforcement or going with a fiberglass door.

Canada20 · 04-15-2004, 01:37 PM

I think the doors on trucks would be too tall and square to make it work that the door flips forward far enough to give enough space to get in/out.

Check out e-bay for lambo-conversions for Civics/Eclipses/VWs if you're wondering about the ricer comment.

Instead of going to Italy/cheesy ricer mods why not keep it American; Delorean doors baybee!!!

GreenMystChevy · 04-15-2004, 02:19 PM

Lambo doors do not swing up and down using the window rail. Here is a link to something like them, yeah, it's definitely a ricey page.

Lambo door pics

Personally I don't think lambo doors would look all that nice on one of our trucks unless the truck was completely custom and had more of a sport truck look: on bags, big rims, bright colors and the such, and then only maybe.

Go suicide, a few guys on here are doing it but not enough to be just like every other truck. It will still stand out if you shave it and suicide it, IMO. That and I have heard that the doors using lambo-style hinges tend to really sag after a while, messing up alignment and paint. Especially with our heavy doors.

And come on guys, just give the guy some nice feedback He asked a question and I think that we can answer it without ragging on him for thinking "outside the box".

Let us know what you think you might be doing. I'm interested.

krazy_texan · 04-15-2004, 02:25 PM

another thing to you would have to forget about keeping it garage kept unless you parked it in the middle of one by itself and then you could hit the cieiling

Canada20 · 04-15-2004, 02:28 PM

if you scroll down, ther'es an F150 with lambo doors on it....

Greg

69k5 · 04-15-2004, 03:40 PM

well i think it would be awesome persobnally. i have always wanted to do it on my hotrod when i start it. except i want gull wing doors not flip up like that.

bpmcgee · 04-15-2004, 05:36 PM

Has anyone actually SEEN one of these installed? From all of the pics, it looks like the doors only open about enough for an infant to slide in an out.

Brian

dubie · 04-15-2004, 05:39 PM

Pretty cool idea. I see autoloc sells a kit for them. I think our dors would be to heavy for it to work. I would also be interested to see what they look like installed and how much room it leaves for the driver and passenger to get in and out of the truck.
It would definately make a truck unique

**BOSS** · 04-15-2004, 07:55 PM

I think i like the suicide better myself also.i was just wondering what you guys thought and now we know.......lol.Just how hard is it to do the suicide trick?

Warbones · 04-15-2004, 08:09 PM

I wouldn't do this on my truck but I would like to see it done. Couldn't someone photoshop one? Cudos on your idea and originality.

Canada20 · 04-15-2004, 08:10 PM

What about using fibreglass doors?

Greg

dharroald · 04-15-2004, 08:33 PM

if you go to the photo gallery in the above site there is a F150 with the doors on it, looks kind of cool, surely unique.
