From what I understand, all Lambo kits are not created equal. Most post I've seen state that you get what you pay for.

I believe you have a fair amount of fiberglass cutting in the door jams

Send me a pm with your problems. I have installed a few different brands of lambo door kits at my shop. We are a LSD dealer and are by far the best you can buy.

I did mine myself ( with help from my gal) but we did them in my garage and after removing the front fenders it was about a 3-4 hour job. This was my 3rd time installing lambo doors and they get easier. No need to cut any wires, just pull them out a bit and they work fine. If you need any assistance please feel free to pm. Hope to see your pics soon.
