but my problem with my lambo is my stock stud hinge.. they are too small...so my door don't open enough honrizontaly ,so when i lift my door up...it hit the window pillar...so to make it open more , i would like to put spacer between my lambo and my fender.
so i would like to know how i could remove the OEM stud or what i could do to get them more long (if anyone have a idea)....

There's not really much you can do. If you space the hinge you're going to have a gap with the fender. Do you open your door as much as possible before going upward?

yea i open it much as possible and my door is hard to lift up...so i want to get more long this stud,because i would like my lambo nice fited
i don'T have acess to the top stud due to the dash...i though about cut the stud remove it and put a another one with a bolt but the driver side have soooooo much wiring and the dashbord don't give me access to it...
so waiting for your idea guys!
i want my lambo fitted!

if you space it out, your door is gonna sit out further than your fender when its closed, which will look like crap, and probably catch wind while moving

you could always weld a longer stud on there, but then you'll have to pull the fender out to line it up with the door, in turn making a gap between the hood and fender.

im really not sure what the issue is. no one else has this issue.!?!?

i agree with joey, it will make the door look outta place and make some wind noise. what company are they made by. and please learn how to type properly, or at least better than you do now (hard to understand)

so what your saying is: i need a longer stud.....saying you need it more long is a grammatical sin! sike i suck at grammer.....anyways it looks to me as if those hinges have been through some hell...were they cut and welded back together? thats what it looks like and would explain the primer on them....do you think you could make the holes any bigger where they bolt to the car so you could have a little more adjustability? might not be that strong though but to be honest those hinges look like trouble to me anyway....
