I wouldnt get any hinges besides the ones vertical doors manufactures. They use the stock holes, you do not cut the wires and their is only slight modification to the fenders. You can get them on E-bay just make sure they are selling the ones from vertical doors for about 1000

I'm no expert, but I've gotten 3 different quotes on lambo doors + install. One was from a Vertical Doors Inc. recommended installer. You're looking at about $3k for the job. Sadly, the cost means I'll have to wait until spring time after I get my tax refund, but the badass look will justify the cost!

Sorry don't spend that kind of money. It is a total of maybe 8 hours taking your time at the most. Any shop can install as you do not drill any extra holes. There are a couple of DIY's on this site to show you how easy it is. You take the front fenders off cut the inner panel of the fender to make room for the shock, tape the doors to the car fill the gap with popsicle sticks (yes popsicle sticks) and remove and replace the hinges.

My intention was not to give the detailed how-to, since there are DIY's that detail the install much better than I can. Spending 3k on this install I feel is way out of line. Hinges 1000 to 1200. 2000 for less than I full day of work would be paying a shop over 200 dollars an hour. It's not that difficult. When I had my car at vertical doors in california, it took them 2.5 hours and I watched the install. No, I didnt install it myself but I feel confident I could after observing what they did. Installing my maggie was more involved than this project and it took me 7.5 hours to do it.

Just noticed you were a shop, customer can feel confident if their is adjustment in the future or any issues they can bring the car back to you, that may warrant the added cost of installation. good luck with the doors.

I can't express how happy I am to see that the haters have finally learned to stay out of these threads. 2 years ago when a thread like this would open up, it would be hate city in here. This is great

I guess anyone could give it a shoot and installed them, them selves. But one advise (just make sure your front fenders align with your doors!!!). If not you could have a noisy ride. Air could be hitting on the edges of the door.

Check out my doors, also theres((( some ))))out there for 700 bucks and it's just the same ones that the big name brand companies sell. You just have to know where they get there stuff from, and thats with a $300 dollars profit from the manufacture.
