    if you like the look then go for it.. i dont personally like it very much for the VX.. if you do a search for 'lambo door' you will come up with quite a few results... heres a pic of what it could look like from silverbullet's gallery

    OH WOW!!! YES I LOVE IT!! Man oh man, thank you for the pic. I did search but was not successful. I love the look and will investigate the price. Do you know how I can get ahold of the owner of this one? I would like to ask him/her how they did it, the cost, any problems with it (leaking, weak door or weak shocks etc)..

    Thanks for the photo, I LOVE IT

    ty.. its just an extraordinarily well made model.. to my knowledge nobody has actually tried to do it yet, every so often on ebay a "kit" shows up on ebay to convert the VX.. but it will be far from bolt on im sure... silverbullet75 built the model, you could try PMing him and see how difficult it was on the small scale

    also heres a thread about it
    http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...ght=lambo+door

    if you look at the bottom of that thread, there will probably be links to other related threads about door conversions (this is true of any thread, related threads show up at the bottom of the page)

    Also keep in mind that the VX is already a tall vehicle: if you add those doors, you wont be able to get in and out of the car very easily in a garage, as they would need at least 15 feet (probably more) of clearance.

    good point about the height issue.. although i think you could probably clear with 10 ft, the highest hinge point on the door would be the bottom of the windshield... which stands maybe 5 ft on a lifted VX... and from there to the top most corner of the door shouldnt be more than 5'.. 6' at most... id say at most you would need 11' of clearance.. 10 would probably even be fine though

    yeah, that sounds more accurate to me now that I think about it.
