Lot of talk about something that probably can't be done for a price anyone would want to pay. I sure would like to see some pictures or links where
this has been done.

I tried searching for that guarrdo, but couldn't find anything on it, do you have a link to their site, I've been wondering if those lambo doors would work...but the thought of being under that HEAVY door, if a shock or bolt gives out, then I guess you can call them suicide doors....but let me know, I've already put everything else on my yellow vette.. :D

No, not suicide doors, not on a corvette, that wouldn't look good at all, but I did see a website that mentioned corvette lambo doors, http://www.lambodoors.com/gallery.html :cheers:

Hey, better yet, I wonder if theres a way to somehow fabricate the rear hatch to mount the engine and relocate the gas tank, just give the car a new sex change... :hat --but personally I would like to see what a corvetteghini would look like....

You can't see or feel scissor doors going down the road.
But that just my .02 worth. good luck what ever you do.. :cheers:
I'm sure you would feel the massive weight gain and air leaks it would create.

And also, no way is my fat butt making it out of that red thing with the lambo doors! How are you supposed to get your legs out!!

Yeah, I guess your right, about getting out of the car, I didn't pay much attention to the leg clearance....NO ROOM AT ALL.... how embarrassing to have sweet looking doors, and having to crawl over the seats to get out, probably slip on the door sill on the way out....yikes,,,better forget this crazy idea....

I think something might be wrong with your keyboard. Before you order the hinges, you may want to get that looked at :lol:

Think hard about this "mod", you may find it'll kill any chance of resale you have...

Please don't be offended by me saying this, but trust me when I say that your tastes will most like change in a few years. After spending an ungodly amount of money messing with the doors (and the unspeakable cost of supercharger - if you do it right), the amount put into your pride & joy will FAR OUTSTRIP the value of it, in fact it will DECREASE the value SIGNIFICANTLY. Nobody will want to touch it with a 10-foot pole, and you'll most likely grow sick of it and end up a very unhappy corvette owner.

If I may say so again, I implore you to save your $$, forget any of the silly visual mods (unless its replacing a worn OE item), put maybe $4-$5k in under the hood. Your vette will be VERY fast, retain its great original looks, and you'll be patting yourself on the back for saving $7-$10k on
the whole thing. Should you have to (or want to) sell it at a later date (should that day come, and it probably will), you'll have something thats desireable and saleable.

Good luck! :seeya

Not to discourage you, but I'm not sure you can put those kits on a C4. A guy I know has them on his 300ZX TT, but he said the company has a limited amount of cars they will work with. He said they did not make them for Vettes, but maybe another company might.

Good luck in your search. :cheers:
