    Ive heard nothing but bad things from people who have done it, Mostly door misalignment just days after getting aligned because of the weight of the door, E31's certainly don't need the attention of those things,)

    This would go great with that carbon fiber wrap/ hydro graphics for your interior plastics…

    Come on Prometheus. Do you want all of our cars to look the same, or stock? Relax a little, make it yours. :-)

    I think they work on the blue one. The others are too plain to pull it off.

    So nobody out there has done this Lambo door conversion... Only things people have heard or recommended ...
    Clearly some owners have done it... per the pics on this thread... Hmmm...

    I have a customer who wanted me to install them but I refused to do it
    One of my arguments has been the weight of the doors.

    Every time your doors open upwards and you step out someone will look at you and think "what a ****!" - is that worth paying for?

    This was done by a forum member years back, went by the name RANE, and from what I recall, they were a nightmare.
    As others have said, the weight of the door and it's contents is what causes all the alignment issue - just too much dor for those Ricer hinges to handle.

    If you want trill status, adapt the JATECH "Invisible Door" to the E31.
