Vertical car door conversion kits are not a popular G-Car modification. Kits tend to make the doors wobble when raised and lowered.

A Vertical door kit installed on a Gallardo makes the door flimsy.

Look at the vertical doors on Murci and you will see they are solidly constructed and go straight up and down.

Lastly, there are many other mods you can do to the G-Car that will give you a greater return on your investment.

 

Scissor doors are cool because they move in one direction, up. With aftermarket kits, the door opens out, then up, followed by a persistent wiggling at the top of the motion. Looks silly.

I for one, don't mind disappointing people with my regular door. Except kids, they get really disappointed...

Ha! This is the truth. I was at a car show last summer when 3 boys in that 10 - 12 year old range came up to the car with jaws dropping. This was the first Lamborghini they had ever seen (I live in rural northern Minnesota) and they wanted me to open the doors for them. I had to explain to them that this cars doesn't have the scissors doors and as I did you could see the disappointment in their faces. I wanted to climb into my shoe. My brother (Viper owner) was parked next to me at the show. He was quick to jump in and say that the scissors doors were reserved for the "real" Lambo's. He always has my back like that.

 

Gandini designed the scissor door into the Countach as a solution to some very constricting design issues he was faced with. It became part of the iconic design. Using this copycat approach on a Civic is one thing, but it should be reserved for the flagship designed models.

 

gallardo isn't designed for flip up doors

to modify it, you can either cut up fender and door OR use a system that opens door side-to-side first and then push up.

both solutions are just stupid and for poseurs

i saw the second system in person with a horrible body kit and wheels.

scissor doors should be functional instead of for looks IMO. they aren't that great to be honest. you have to bow down to get in.

 

for the love of god......NO!

 

I will pretend I didn't just read this.....

 

That's what I figured, but that doesn't make a lot of sense to me, since this is almost the only real complaint I've heard about the Gallardo

 

Car becomes worthless except to some boy racers. Value would be CRUSHED!!
