Default Lambo Door's Added to the Power Hardtop Vert... Pics inside

I just got the Lambo doors installed on my Converted Coupe to Power Hardtop Vert. I think they look great, Just a little hard to pull the door down from the inside of the car, but I was told it will get easier. You could open the door enough to get out without putting up the door. I Will keep you guy's posted on the Mod updates as they come......

This is why I tell my kids not to let the car door swing open so hard!

Gussy,

I have always thought this mod was a bling-bling "look-at-me" mod, but now that my garage is full and it's hard to get out of my car with my wife's Mustang 2 feet away w/o dinging her door, I have actually entertained the idea of this mod as a practical matter. Did you have to modify the car (i.e. make any permanent cuts)? Is it easier to get out of the car in a crowded parking lot? Easily reversible?

Thanks!

SMM

No, mods to the car. They take off the fender's to get to the hinges that's it. Yes it is easier to get out, you don't have to put the door's up to get in and out, they open enough I will show with a video tomorrow. It is also easily reversible....

Don't the items in the door pockets fall out when you open the doors?
