My other question is. Do you use the stock hinge bolts or do you have to drill and tap the holes to a larger size on the car?

Same kit I put on mine. The screws it came with were the same size, but longer bolts to make up for the thicker hinges. Here's an old thread that helped me:

It came with longer bolts for the door. Actually, I was short 2, and used the factory ones instead. I think they're long enough as well.

Good Luck

It is a Corvette with Lambo doors. Not a LamboVette!
