Hi, New guy here , how are the lambo door kits for the C5 . Does anyone reccomend a company or just a stay away from them??? I am finicky when it comes to rattles and wind noise , is there a quality kit out there---I know you get what you pay for in most cases ---but latly for me the cheaper stuff seams like a better quality ..

I hear they are okay. Not my taste. Seems like alot of money for two hinges. The doors look cools though.

LSD kits are by far the best kits out there. LSD hinges are the only ones sold in the USA that meets the Dept of Highway crash test stanards.

I love the look of the doors, as for the remote I don't know. LSD does not make a remote I know that for sure.
