I'm the OP. I can't stop laughing! I knew this thread would go down this negative road and I even said that in the original post. I do have a C8 Z06 coming and I might ask the Lambo door question on the C8 forum just to see heads explode!!

Well, we’ve all had our fun now, including me, but I do recall a Lambo’d vette I saw at a cruise locally about 4 years ago, driven by an elderly couple. I guess the guy could tell what I was thinking, and he offered that yes, it was different, but because of mobility issues, neither he or his wife could get in the car unless the OEM doors could be fully opened, which he couldn’t do in his garage. Or potentially elsewhere depending on the parking spots available and who decides to park how close next to you. Who am I to argue with that?

My cousin has recently purchased an 06 Corvette. He’s considering doing Lambo doors. Of course, some vendors are better than others. I’m here just looking for vendor recommendations based on your personal experiences. I’ve done the requisite Forum search, but wasn’t really satisfied with what I found. Please: I do not need to hear from anyone who just wants to critique the choice for Lambo doors on a Corvette. (Yes, I’m well aware that those members are just waiting to chime in!) Thanks in advance for any helpful input.
Keep the original hinges. The kit is simply bolt into original mounting holes, and can easily be swapped back. It looks amazing on C6 coupes and verts. The new kits don't sag. They are vertical door though, and not Lamborghini style. They open slightly out then up. And one AMAZING thing about them is they make it so much easier to get in and out of your car in tight parking spaces! Post pictures after its done!
If that is what your cousin wants then let him go for it. The one thing i cant stress enough is the proper installation. This means that he must find the best installer no matter the cost .....because if this goes sideways Vette Life as he knows it will be over. Have one guy in my club with a C8 and it took him 3 tries to find someone to get it right.....all of them were recommended by other customers. Now the C8 is a different animal than the C6 ....but you get the idea.

There are absolutely no modifications to your existing doors. They have 2 shocks on each door, CNC aluminum arms and everything is powder coated.
And you don't need to remove fenders.
