Re: lambo or suicide doors anyone ever tryed it

suicide doors are pretty common, but the lambo doors are what the ricers are all doing, so personally I would avoid them at all costs.

Re: lambo or suicide doors anyone ever tryed it

The lamo oops lambo would need a lot of fabing, due to our doors beeing so heavy. Man can you imagine having one those bad boys come down on you?

Re: lambo or suicide doors anyone ever tryed it

Lambo doors should be left to ricers...

Suicide doors, I'm riding the fence on that one.

Good luck with the fab!
