Yes, I know 99.999% of everyone in the internet world does not like lambo door on the camaro. I also knew I would get little or no response from this forum. But thank you for the link.

I don't like how wobbly that door opened at all when she hit that button. But still I wonder if those hinges where bolt on made just for the camaro?

I like the Lambo doors not only for the looks but in my case they would be very practical. i have a narrow space under my carport to park the car and there is a cement wall on the side so if the door hasppens to open past that first click there is a chance to scratch the end of the door. My old four door did not have this problem as the doors were not as long. so I have two choices, park in the driveway and accept the multiple bird droppings, (the big crows and we have a lot of them, like to sit on the electrical wires going across my driveway and everytime they take off they leave a bit of themselves on my car not to speak of the freezing rain, snow and frosted windows that the carport protects my baby from or park under the carport and try to keep the door from hitting the cement wall. Lambo doors with the restricted outward swing would be a very practical solution. Now to try to sell this idea to the girlfriend.

the setup in the video is way too slow and it wobbles, like you said.

I sold the idea to my wife! It wasn't that hard either. I will be getting them with part of her bonus check... I'm a lucky guy!

Verticals Door Inc has by far the best hinges out there for the Camaro if you don't mind manual doors. They did a custom setup for David Beckam's Camaro where the doors fold under the car. That's some crazy sh^+, but when you have the money.......

You may be able to find a video on You Tube if anyone has seen it at a show.

After seeing that video of the automatic doors and seeing the manual vertical door co. in person... I'm just going to stick with vertical. There is only one person in my state that is certified from vertical door. So, I'll be making that trip next month!

I love my vertical door kit. Only open them up when I like to show it off at shows or gas stations and places like that.

Lupe (overhaulengines) would be the man to ask to see if he had a better product or idea. I hear he does emaculate work and is an active member on this forum.
