Not a big fan of these, and as you can see, not a lot of people are.(On any forum) I would just say do as much research as you can as any kit I have ever seen in person has never had a smooth actuation even after just a few months. If you make it out to a cars and coffee type event, just find a few cars with them and ask to work one. I drive my car every day and there is no way I could deal with it daily. BYMMV
Good Luck

I don't think I'd put them on my car but I do like them

OP, I go through a lot of cars, so I see a lot of ads and prices. Just please be really and truly aware that you are knocking an EASY $5000 off your car's value by getting these. Whatever it is, subtract $5K. Make sure it's worth it.

Very true. I've owned a ton of cars in my life, own a mechanic shop where I've purchased cars with issues which I've resolved and then sold, purchased salvage vehicles which have been repaired and sold and even flipped some clean title vehicles. Lambo doors is one of the only things that truthfully deters me from buying a car

It looks like a lot of people arent into flip up doors....My car just sits, I only take it to car shows..Would never have em on a car that I have to drive a lot.. A very good point about resell my much later on..Guess if I have the doors on it would sell to just the right person who will keep on showing....Still wondering about the labor..What is a good price to pay for this work? Thanks.......
