I dont understand why someone would mod a Gallardo in any way, especially like that...

The thing that always killed be about the DIY lambo door kits is that it's blatantly obvious that the doors weren't designed to open like that.

If you've got the $$ to buy a Gallardo and then do that to it, you should have the $$ to cut/weld the doors into a shape that goes up without having to swing out over the fender.

Perfect example:

Here's a fiero with a custom body that was pretty much hand done and one of a kind:



If you've got that much skill creating custom body work, why not cut the door so that they open straight up like the countach/diablo instead of swinging out like over the fender like all the rest of the knock-off kits:

Those that are lucky their whole lives usually die young...

the only cars that do look ok w/ vertical doors are FD RX7s b/c the way the doors are cut on the bottom and Subaru SVX b/c its funky enough as is.


but i still wouldn't do it due to the sheer mass and weight...not to mention it's pointless.

I wish I had thought of that one. LOL!

I'm pleased to note I have never seen anyone add lambo doors to a 2nd generation Z like mine.
