You could probably send a pm or two to find out how they are working for him.

Oh heavens no. Even Lambo doesn't do those anymore.

I can think of better mods for the money, but these are actually not too bad ^^^^

YES THEY DO!!! You must not have seen an Aventador then....they have them. True, Huracan's do not, but the Aventador does.
Bill, it seems like almost no one on this Forum likes scissor doors....don't worry about the opinions-everybody has one.
I looked into these for my car. But I decided not to do them because every mechanism I've seen on the market instructs you to push the door out first and then up. So in essence, you can open them either way (out or up). But to me, that's not a true Lamborghini scissor door mechanism....I didn't do this mod.
I hope this helps you better make your decision.

Yep, I was wrong, and you're right that I know virtually nothing about Lambos, which I'm about as interested in as chicken farming in Uzbekistan.
I don't know what you're talking about, having never seen an "internet gif" dealing with the matter, but I do know someone w/ a Huracan. I mistakenly thought they'd abandoned what I consider to be a rather silly door-opening design, based on that car. I wasn't aware they'd used it again on something else.
The gull-wing concept makes some sense, but the scissor-arrangement looks like a great way to whack your head, in addition to being a maintenance nightmare. However, Lambo, like Ferrari, has never been particularly concerned about cost or the fact their products are extremely "high maintenance."

I had them on my C5. I loved the look, but replacing the shocks sucked. The upkeep on them is horrible! I'll never do it again!
