Does anyone have this kit on their car and if so how was the installation? Possible pics? Even if you have the kit but not installed I'd like to hear from ya.

Could be no one here wants to tagged as a Lamborgini wanna be owner. These doors are synonmous to Lambos and should stay on Lambos.

You get what you pay for If they are that good why would they have to sell them at half price. If you want the best go with LSD door hinges.

I find this door system to be more for convenience then show. I park in parking garages at work plus I live in the land of people who absolutely do not know how to park.

Thanks for the video. Does anyone have GT Factory website? I got a few questions.
