interesting nonetheless. I'm talking about the 'Lambo door' conversion for GS300/400s:

http://www.grounddynamics.com/merchant/site/index.htm

It's also available for older SC3/4s, but not our SC430. No other company mentioned on Autoweek (where I got the info) makes kits for Lexii. I wouldn't do the conversion myself for several reasons, but the concept is interesting, especially for those who want to stand out from the rest.

Something different to discuss. Comments welcome.

Ok got it by cutting and pasting the link to my explorer. Pretty cool! Not sure how practical it would be for a daily driver.

Done buddy! Sorry about that. Noticed while checking it just the main page shows up, so click on 'GD Door Conversions' at the top right of the page (in blue letters), and scroll down to the 3 'Lexus' offerings.

Posted this over the GS board, thinking it'd be news to them, but somebody already even installed them on his GS, pictures and all. It definitely looks weird on a 4-dr car IMHO, but nice nonetheless. Look for my post there (just like this), and follow the links a moderator posted; no need to 'search'.

Have a good weekend guys.

yeah, they should be left on the lambo. It's good for shows but not for daily use. Way too heavy for the hinge.

Refers to the type of hinged door Lamborghini uses.
