ive found a kit that will bolt directly onto my 2002 sunfire and it looks alright. problem is i dont think i know enough about the subject of lambo doors.
so here we go guys:
1) the sunfire has no frame essentially, so tyhe doors are a major part of its structural rigidty, by messing with the hinges like that, im gonna do some damgae to that aspect. im not autocrossing it so im not worried about that, just side impact crashes.
2) leaks could be apparent i think. anyone with experience with this?
3) is there any kind of hidden custom work required that i cant do my self with a "bolt-on kit"?
any input would help alot
Got american muscle in my arms and under my hood
shouldnt be any custom work. but ask streaker1369 he knows all about it.
Tila Tequila? PPSSSSSHHH she's got nothing on me, except i'm not a porn star. and that's ok.
i believe, but am not certain, most of the kits out are just bolt up, hidden under the fenders just behind the front part of the door. and with the number of people here that have them, i havent seen any bad press over any specific type so....should be aok
the doors really aren't that big of a structural reinforcement. that's mostly taken care of by the roof. otherwise, your car would fold in half every time you open your doors, regardless of what hinges are on it.
kits that are made specifically for j-bodies fit up very well. when installing, you might have to fine tune a couple things depending on how well you held the door in place when installnig the lambo hinges in the first place.
the most "custom work" you'll need to do is to either cut off the little metal tab on the car behind the fender or bend it flat. and that's not hard to do at all. they are a pretty simple procedure, so just take your time with it and you'll be fine.
LOL that sucks guys LOL
yeah its really easy
i would get them from the Joes group purchace
i got my kit from winks and its great but i think he is still having trouble with some people.
actually the glass makes the car structually strong i mean the front and the rear glass
if installed correctly you should have no problems at all
the door should not bend or twist at all
can i haz bondo
to answer your questions!
#1...you'll be fine with a new hinge...it bolts up to the same location as the stock ones do...you use the same bolts aswell!
#2 leaks....not at all....you'll be fine
#3 just what cannon said...a very easy metal piece to cut off, and that is all pretty much, a very easy install...
My Lambo kit will be coming in this week......
Wish me luck on the install (I have molded side skirts)
Any suggestions from guys that installed theirs with molded skirts would be appericatated.
Thanks

I will be installing my 2nd set of Lambo hinges on my car,once they come in from Joe. Reason i bought Decah ones and they were NO WHERE near a direct bolt on. And there Junk, i mean JUNK. Thye lasted well let see close to 2 months..
What happened to them Orange syn? (How did they fail?)
CHAD
The driver side strut blew out and door came crashing down. Luckily i caught it, so no harm was done. Bu the price i paid and the price they are now. I paid close to 4 times that amount.
Would anyone here reccomend Chin-Wahs? I mean, $700 at APP...Im thinkin about it for when I get my 3rd Gen Cavy....maybe next year I'll get it, or close to the end of this year!
See group purchase forum about the chin wahs
