I was wondering where I could get a lamborghini conversion kit for the doors. I have a 2000 and would like to get them. Please let me know the price and where to get them.

ebay is the best place. Its a lot of dollars and you have to shave the inside of your fender a lot. Good luck with it though.

Is it your daily or weekend? Daily =
Talk to someone who has them. They can be more trouble than they're worth. I wanted them till I had a good conversation with a guy who had them ... sold me ... on not getting them. Biggest issue was the cracked door hinge. On all the Lambo kits, you have to lower the door all the way before you close the door. Someone closed his door without it being all the way and cracked his door.
If you're gonna go that route, do your homework first. Just my $.02

BIG BIG difference. The Lamborghini was engineered with doors that work that way. They are awesome, few friends that have Lamborghini's.
The C5 you have to open the door normal about 30 degrees and then it goes up. I liked this mod till I saw it in person and read about the problems. To many issues for me.

Default Vertical Doors

I have them on my '99. They are from vertical doors in Ontario,California 909-923-9332. Talk to Gina & Tell her Mike with the Blue '99 said to call. List price is about $2700 ,but you should be able to do better. I wouldn't try to install them at home!! It's a big job and requires some shaving of the front of the doors (not the painted part). There are two different settings for how far they have to open before you raise them. I went for the shortest one so I can open the doors in my crowded garage with room to spare.

If you decide to do this drop me a line first and I'll go over some other items the Mfg. needs to add that I did with mine.

So far they work fine and turn alot of heads.

Mike

Go with the double piston type. It's better engineered for the C5 compared to the single piston type. PM me if you need the web site.
