Don't get your balls in a bunch wyldpny. You were given serious responses along with the little bit of "ribbing" you received. If you can't take a little ball busting now and then, I suggest you sign out of the internet altogether and lock yourself in your room.

I see three post in this thread directed to sites where you might find what you're looking for. What more help can we give you? Like it was previously stated, this kind of set up is not generally popular here, so you're not going to get the responses you're looking for. It's not just a matter of people not liking them, there's literally next to nobody here who's got the set up for them to post pictures of it for you.

Are any of these hinge kits rated for withstanding a direct hit from an impact? Are they crash-tested? That makes me think something like that cannot be legal. Whan if you suffer a direct hit to the passenger door and it caves in and amputates your passengers leg where a normal hinge would have withstood it. Not all these hinges are designed by engineers who think about things like these. The door is a MAJOR structural component in a crash. What sort of warranties do they carry as well?

Sorry but if acting like an ass is fun for those on here who just can't help but have to post in almost every single thread even if they have nothing helpful to offer is simply childish. It is pretty clear by this thread title what this thread is all about, so if you don't like Lambo hinges then show some resemblance of intelligence and just don't click on the thread and hit reply. Simple.

I didn't say nobody, I said "next to nobody". Feel free to find more for him if you'd like. Anything to keep you occupied and productive Bill.

OK, finally some serious posts. Thanks guys. That yellow Roush looks sweet. Any idea who the manufacturer of those hinges is and how the owner likes them?

From the looks of it, it's a bolt on kit that simply replaced the factory hinges.

Of course i'm guessing just from the pic. Can't really see all that much

He doesnt, you were in that thread. Blown 04 Rouch. He took them off because he didnt like them and thought they were rice. You asked him if he wanted to sell them, remeber?

As far as I know that was the only car I have ever seen on here with them.
Really though you are in the wrong place for that question. Alot of people on here are great at searching online to help but youd be better off in a low rider or import forum with that question BECAUSE they have alot of cars with them and know of many different places to get them and will have feedback on which work well and which dont.
Its like going to a beer forum and asking which douche works best, you might get an answer your looking for but it will mostly be jokes about the nature of the question.

Oh and I changed my signature since you thought I was the devil for quoting it. That doesnt make me evil, its the horns that do it.

It sounds pretty cool to me... There aren't to many people out there that have the experience in custom fabrication work to that level. I would say if he is as good as you say then he could indeed be the man...
Click to expand...

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I mean, I realize it takes quite a bit of R & D to make these work properly but still, once you have created them the mind set should be price them to sell not price them to keep. Obviously a lot of people are buying these hinges so the extremely high cost is not scaring a certain percentage away but still...

However, another thing to keep in mind is that the big name manufactures like Vertical Doors Inc spend tens of thousands of dollars on research and development and they make vertical door systems that are patented due to the amount of money they spend on insuring these products work perfectly for the application. In other words when you have large amounts of funding and time going into expert engineers making your products you don't want anyone else duplicating it for free basically.
Click to expand...

Thats true, but this isn't rocket science either. I saw in another thread on here where people were complaining that the costs of Cobra side mirrors seemed way out proportion price wise to what the product is and I have to agree. I think $1,300 hinges are a bit out of proportion price wise as well. Just because something is patented and is claimed to have thousands in development doesn't always justify a extremely high cost. Having said though many people like the fact that some unique items are priced where only a smaller percentage can afford as then you have a better chance of having something very few others have.
However it is only a matter of time before a few smart talented people step up and start making a similar product that is as good or better for less forcing the rest to readjust their pricing to a more realistic price range.

Its tough to really say. I mean the other VDK manufacture you mentioned doesn't even sound familiar to me and I work for Cruizin Concepts which sells direct bolt on vertical doors systems. There are allot of brands out there and the cheapest price doesn't even mean the cheapest price installed or better yet the best kit installed.......
Click to expand...

I agree which is why I was asking to make sure that I got the best product for my money, not just the cheapest.

For $900 bucks, I would give the guy a shot personally. Its tough to believe a guy like this can produce a better product than the largest VDK manufacture in the world - but just maybe he has something that should be tried.
Click to expand...

Yeah, I am seriously leaning towards giving him a shot. If I do I will document the whole process in pictures like I do with all of my other mods, that is assuming he doesn't mind and doesn't fear that my taking detailed step by step pics may compromise his product.

I say if you have seen his cars with these hinges in action, that should be enough for you to go ahead and buy them. We sell the direct bolt on VDK's for 1299 and thats by the company that essentially invented the whole after market concept to begin with and you are getting a better price for the part installed.
Click to expand...

I appreciate that and that just helps me feel even better about considering even more on giving this guy a try.

I SAY DO IT and enjoy your doors. Never pay $400 for something like that because it will be junk.
Click to expand...

I know. It's usually true that you get what you pay for, but I have to admit that $450 for a set of direct bolt on lambo hinges is a very attractive price. here is the link to their site:
http://www.lambodoorsusa.com/lambo-...bol9405.html?gclid=COCHoqS95pMCFQJ-xgodKnZAWw

Hey by the way, are they dual action? I mean do they still open both factory style and vertical style? Our vertical doors systems open both ways. They open factory style and Vertical style. Most people that buy vertical doors wont use that feature all the time anyway. Its just for show.
Click to expand...

Yes, his are dual action as well, and I agree that I am wanting the hinges as much for the show wow factor than for anything else. But again, I have always loved that scissor door look and to have that as an option on my stang whenever I want is just too cool.

Sorry but I don't agree. First of all, the lambo hinges on a Honda accord for example are a different design with different shocks, etc than what is made for a Mustang. Of course you don't own or like these hinges so you don't know these things which again I question why you are even posting in this thread.
Second, asking a Honda or Mitsu owner what they think of a certain part for their car I bet is going to get a response like "If you want to know for a Mustang, why are you not on a Mustang forum asking other Mustang owners?"

Yeah, as far as I know all of the current hinges for awhile now have all been direct bolt on that replaces the factory hinges using the factory mounting points.
Do you think he may know more about them even though he had them taken off?

So you cant follow the reasoning that since the same company makes a hinge for a Honda and a Mustang a Honda owner would have no idea how well the craftsman ship is. What I was saying is since more of them use the products they would be able to say "Barnd X has great customer service and the parts are great quality why brand Y sucks and falls apart." The basic design is the same, just different size brackets and helper shocks for the doors.
So I say go to a place where more people with different uses of other brands would be able to give some first hand experiences about them.
If its a rice forum then so be it. Lambo doors are rice so thats the most likely place for help.

No pull your panties out your crack and get a sense of humor. This is talk, you could of asked about it in tech and racked up some posts n00b

You could PM him and ask. Go to the "My car is in American Muscle" thread go to his name, click on it then click on send a private message. Im sure he will be glad to help.

I want to know how the fit and finish is on a Mustang, NOT on a Honda. I want to know how well they lift and how well they clear the fender on a Mustang, not a Honda. Do you think a Honda owner can answer those questions there genius?

So I say go to a place where more people with different uses of other brands would be able to give some first hand experiences about them.

That is only your opinion, and I didn't ask your opinion so please stop posting it in my thread.

Sorry but my goal here was to get some helpful info and not be a post whore, plus it has been said that you get more views and replies in talk then in tech. And I don't wear panties so I guess you will have to enlighten the rest of us on whats it's like to have a pair wadded up in the crack of your butt. As for my sense of humor, I have a good one but so far I haven't read anything funny from you

Plus, your off topic :Zip2:
