Been thinking about doing this mod, but after hearing about all the problems not only from you but other who have done it I've changed my mind. Maybe there is another mfg. out there who has a better kit, better service and a better price? Hope so.

They look very cool. The entire car is very very nice. Very nicely modded.. Love the wheels and lights too.

Default One year from now

I have heard much negative about the scissors door setups, and
would ask that you let us know in a year how well they have
held up, and any problems or trouble they may create.

They look sweet, but I would be very hesitant to spend the $$$
for the conversion without more knowledge.

Good Luck with em, I hope in a year you will let us all know.

I like the wheels, hood, lights, etc.

I'd pass on the doors though.

VectorZ, your ride is drop dead gorgeous!!! Love the look of the doors but I wouldn't do it myself, especially after hearing multiple horror stories such as yours. Regardless, it really does set it apart from most others and is just stunning!

DAYYUMMMmm that looks sweet on your black vert!!!!


I think the C5R lights and the CCW 505a's help set it off quite well!

Sweet ride man!!


I was thinking the same thing about the lambo kit, but as a package your ride looks sweet.

That is one sweet looking vette

... and thanks for warning us about the lambo kit. I love the look but would never attempt it myself thanks to your very honest opinion!!!

-Joe

P.S. love the clear side markers (day time running lamps)... where did you pick those up??? and do you have some close up picks of those, before and afters maybe??? Thanks

I assure you, you don't wanna know what they'll (latch area of my door) look like in a year. I assure you, you don't wanna know what they look like right NOW (1 week later). I'll take a pic anyway to show you the horror.

Sorry 'bout the problems - gotta' leave you with a sick stomach at times.
You know what? Pull the door down and go for a ride - that'll fix it!

By the way, I think you like the friend's picture because it is almost a monochromatic picture - just many various shades of the same color.
It IS a good shot!

Sorry to hear about the quality of that kit. Your car looks incredible, one of the nicest I've seen. Does the headlight kit require painting? Also how is your car lowered, coilovers?
