Yep, I paid $900 for mine, used. I've seen 'em new for around $1200. The VDC kit is a great quality kit, I just wish they'd come up with a way to keep that door down...

 

FKN HEll.. why is everything in America so cheap?

 

Are things really more expensive down under once you do the currency conversion?

 

Yeh its ridiculous... I paid all up about $75 k on road for my Z...

Thats like... how many US $$ ?

 

Given the current conversion rate, $75K Canadian is equivalent to $66,542 American. That's pretty expensive for a car that sells for under $40K in the states. But you're paying nasty taxes, right? Is that included in the $75K?

 

I'll never like Lambo doors on anything but a Lambo.

 

U take that back !

 

To each his own

 

Interesting thread. I am about to purchase Aerotrends lambo door kit. I am not sure yet if it is LSD or VDC kit. I was told it is a matter of 6 bolts to install. But, reading above, it seems that i will have to cut my fender??? Correct me if I am wrong. I have a few volunteers, from my club, to help install. Should I just schedule an appt. at a shop? If so, does anyone know a reliable installer in Tampa area?

By the way, hello. I'm a new member.

 

im loving the hood ^

 

Thanks! A few of my members made comments it wouldn't look good with a Nismo body kit but maybe they didn't realize I was planning on painting a good portion of it. I love it as well!

 

Very nice, Unique hood : )

 

the lsd kit is the only kit I know of except for weld on kits that need fender/door modification...

 

Every kit I've seen requires modification of the fender, including the VDC kit. Cutting or rolling of the strength rib at the rear of the fender is required to give the hinge proper lateral clearance for outward swing.


Do you know of any kit specifically that *doesn't* require this?

 

the aerotrends kit. here it is on my car:

 

I can't wait!!! Just trying to figure out how to install. At a shop or at home with some muscles.

 

lookin good! wish i had vertical doors

 

it's a pain in the *** sometimes, there is a certain way you have to open the doors or else you can screw up your fender, or your wiring or worse, your door panel. It took me 10 minutes to get the hang of it and I still have trouble doing it from the inside. Thank god they can be opened horizontally

 

Lome mine but if I could take them off today I would. Only thing keeping me from going widebody. while we are talking about it wonder if a plasma cutter would get them off nice and clean? Did that mid-A member mike get his off that way?

 

Ask Sly, he knows Mike and can probably tell you or find out for you.
