    Not me either, but the guys at Car & Driver just installed one of these kits on a long-term test car, and had very good luck with it, although they do make the point that opening the door takes two motions instead of one, along with about 3 seconds more time to get in and out of the car.

    The one they used was not a universal - it was specific to the model, and they warned about not using universal kits, which of course, aren't.

    A friend of mine in my car club installed them on his VR4. He was one of the first but they don't work very well. And they have a tendency to rip the door seals(he's been through a few) and if you don't open them like a normal door then out and up they hit on the fender. I'd be game when someone designs them like the real ones but to open out then up I don't know that's just not for me

    Why ruin a unique vehicle by putting honda ricer doors on it?

    even on 'ricers' i still have to respect the hard work and effort that goes into getting a set of lambo doors working right, i think of it more as a sign of enginuity, which i am all about for my VX

    Cool Omg...

    I was crazy enough once, just too broke to do anything about it LOL. I posted the potential for this mod back in the days of Club Vmag. Funny thing is now, several years later, I am able to do it, but no longer crazy enough. Still crazy, but not that crazy...
