    The bolt on kits replace your hinges and come with instructions on how to install them. I would reccomend getting a 2 way lambo kit so you can open the doors normally when you don't want to be a ricer.

    It would be much easier to simply stab yourself in the eye with a pencil.

    I would like to have the two-way lambo hinges, actually, simply for the practicality of it since no one in this town seems to know how to park. And compact spots seem to be closer
    Still, the car in the video is obscene. Maybe someone will put it out of it's misery.

    I was actually thinking more like what you said.. Cause everyone where I live has big cars and I really am too lazy to park good. With a coupe the doors are just huge too, so you gotta get lots of room

    Oh plz let it be a coupe.

    Because.

    The doors weigh a thousand pounds and would just bend those Taiwanese hinges in three minutes and forty-two seconds.

    FLAT.

    yes the bolt on kits are lies. They are universal kits that they sell to everyone and you have to modify it to make it work for your application. I remember back in the day a kid bought a "bolt on kit" for his Stealth. His $300 hinges turned into about $2000 worth of custom work.

    If you REALLY REALLY have to have your doors open some other way, don't go this route. Go custom, suicide rears if you have a sedan, or just suicides if your a coupe. The coupes doors are too heavy for the lift kits unless you REALLY throw money at the brackets, and even then its still retarded.

    Some cars can pull off the vertical door look. Grand Prixs are not one of those cars.

    And as for weigth, 3000GT/Stealth doors are heavy as hell. There is a basically a steel pipe in the middle of the door. The door itself weighs in around 70lbs, thats not including the window, window motor, locking mechanism, etc. There is only one true bolt on kit for that platform, and that kit costs $1500. It costs so much because all the R&D was done to make it perfect.
