Default I DID IT!! Part II (Lambo Doors on the GS)

Ok more pics were requested showing different angles so that you could see how much room there was to get in and stuff like that. So here are some more pics.

On another note like it or loath it the mod is a major attention getter. I was parked in Georgetoen the other night with the doors up and TV's going. People came by and took pictures others stopped with video cameras and I got no fewer than 25-30 "thats a beautiful car commenst in the one hour that my friend and I stayed there. If you want to get attention this is a good way to achive that. I persoanlly would like to enter a few shows next year and thought that it make make me a contender.

Looks nice, good job. Did u decide if u are going to do something with the rear doors? Suicide doors IMO would really 'complete' the look with the lambos up front..

Entering/exiting really is not a problem at all. Their are no Twister styles moves that are involved with getting into or out of the car. Now granted i'm not the largest guy I imagine if I weighed 300 pounds or something it might be a little more difficult. But its really no big deal.

I don't plan on doing anything with the rear doors at this time.

so I guess this kit doesn't allow you to open the door normally too? I've seen some that do.

Mine is a kit from Decah. www.decah.net is the web address I think. Anyway the guys at Creative Custums took a blank SUV kit from Decah and modified it to fit my car. Its pretty labor intensive but they got it done for me. There are other companies that make a similar kit as well even one www.doorsup.com that has a bolt on kit for the GS. I went with Decah because the guys at Creavtive said that they made the most high quality kit.
