Of course people spend their hard earned money any possible way they want. My point is some mods are done in good taste while others cheapen them. Doesn't bother me one bit one way or the other.

After googling, lambo doors on c6, I was impressed.
looks good, and from what I can tell, functional.
It looks as it would be easier getting in and out, because you
don't have to swing the door out so far out making it easier in and out.
does anyone have lambo doors on your c6?
I think with the mod, you can open and close regularly like stock
if you choosed. Is this true?
hows the livability factor? Does it squeak? Wind noise? Water issues? Good with convertibles?
Last but not least, how much does it cost for install?
thanks.

I had purchased a set of hinges, but decided not to have them installed. The selling company directed me to a shop which quoted an install of $600.00, my local body shop, which has performed other work for me and my company and who I highly trust quoted $2,500.00.
But after speaking with several other Corvette owners who had them installed and/or performed the installation themselves, decided against having it done. I spoke to one individual who did the install, but IMO it should only be performed by someone who has experience with the specific hinge you purchased.
For me, there were concerns with maintaining a good seal of the door and its alignment over a long period of time. But I still think they look very good on a Corvette.
Good luck and let us know what you decide.

bad idea
Its your ride and if you like them that's what counts. My view- absolutely worthless and costly mod that looks terrible. Right up there with black wheels . Think it through before you do it. Swinging those babys up every time to get in or out. They just don't look right on a vette to me. Not needed to get noticed if that's the goal.

No don't do it. I did it on my c5, thought they were sharp, spent $13,00, could not wait on them to come in. The day i got them, i could not wait to get them on. Called a friend loaded up the car and headed to his house for him to help me. Well the doors only took 30 minutes, per side to install. It took 6 hours per side to lign up. Took the doors off, move 1/4 inch one way or the other, put back on, take it off again, lign it up. etc. Managed to scrape the paint off the door in several places before i got them aligned. And the c5 is the easy one. Even with the bolt on doors, you have to cut the lip off the front of a c6. Take it from me bro, you just think you want lambo doors, But i"m not you. If you do decide to get them have a pro install them, and make sure then tape up the edges before they start the installation. Just my opinion, i learned the hard way, just trying to save you from a big mess. Oh and buy toe way they have to be greased every week to keep them working, and its to moves to get out and in your car, You have to open the door the normal way then push up to get out. Ever try to push up on something from the sitting position ? Just my 2 cents worth. And but the way after a month of having them, i traded to a c6 never again will i have lambo doors on my car. Expensive mistake, trying to help you not to do the same. Peace bro.
As tempting and imo nice looking.
I wouldn't get it, just wanted real world experience with them..

I am looking at a car that has the door mod already done, It's the only thing that I don't like about this particular car. Wondering where I can find the hardware to take them off since the owner didn't keep everything.
