Default Where to get vertical doors?

I want to put Lambo doors on my SC430 but cannot find a compagny that has a kit for our cars
Does anyone know any shops or places that carry such a kit for the SC430, any input is appreciated

I know poeple have mixed opinions about this kind of mod but I am sure that when i am done you all will like the completed package

Thanks

Neither does the rest of the world. You are asking for something 1% of SC430 owners want..... not very bright to go make a full blown production assembly line out of them, eh?

You need to find a custom shop and tell them to get to work.

......................otherwise just flip your car on it's side and enjoy.

Wow vertical doors for an SC430...thats gonna look great

You can buy kits from vertical doors that are universal and any custom shop can modify them slightly to make them fit.

Good luck.

Dunno, the doors are frameless. I' m never a fan of those anyway, even on Lambos . . .

Word on the street is that it's possible. After I parallel parked on Newbury a guy came up to me and said that he was going to get an SC-430 last month but he was "short 1500". He then told me that I should get the vertical doors on mine and he told me his friend had an SC with one done. I looked at him in disbelief and he said it was only $1500...$750 per door. After that he encouragingly said "get it done and there will be no stoppin ya!"

If we could get 10 or more of us on a group buy who wanted vertical doors might be possible they would make a kit specific for an sc430.

I think vertical doors would look really pimp iuf they were done right since the odds of seeing another SC430 with them would be none...Plus I dont know about you guys but rolling to the club with such a hot car, 20" wheels and then open lambo doors gets you laid... on the spot

So who else wants lambo doors?

Well as long as the price is not crazy and they will ship it to London, UK. Then I will have one. If we can do a group buy and get the price down then even better.

Of course depends if they can make a kit.

So thats 2... anyone else want to do a group buy?

Default vertical doors

I think vertical doors would look hot! on these cars. These cars have nice doors that showcases this design wonderfully.
