Lambo doors on a Shadow convertible?

[CoolV300C]

Thinking about doing this to my Shadow convertible. Anyone seen one with them? Any kits around for Shadow doors?

Negative ghost rider. No one makes these for our cars... plus its a shadow, even if you did, no respect would be given by the world because it is a shadow.

seems like it might be a cool idea but it wouldnt it the car right unless it looked like dodgeshadowchick's ricemobile

When is the world gonna learn that "Lambo" doors aren't cool on anything other than a Lamborghini? Hmmm....maybe that's why they're called "Lambo" doors. I've never heard them called "Shadow" doors or "Honda Prelude" doors.

Don't forget Dodge Stealths and Cadillac Escalades. I can't stand SUVs with doors like that. They're for exotic cars that are tough to get in and out of, not a 1980s coupe worth as much as the doors on the car.

If you have to open the door normaly about 15 degrees, to clear the opening for the upward lift....
Then it's not supposed to have an upward lift.

Last episode of Nopi TV I saw, a guy opened the scissor door on his Honda like he was the only person to ever do it. He had a look on his face like "Wow huh? didn't expect to see that happen huh?"

I'm still waiting for someone with a Murcielago to show up at Unique Autosports and ask them to convert it to regular swing doors.

[JDAWG]

all they use are a couple hinges and like 2 liftgate supports, so all you would have to do is take off the fender and build your own brackets and what not.


ps I think it would look ghey too.

It does look strange. On one of parts sundance I had made a hinge and shocks. Got welded on and working then I was going remake all of it beefer and never have. I'd plan on doing to my charger but haven't thought of it again. The car was a 4 door and the door weighed the same as l body 2 door do. I wish that I had taken a picture of what it look like.

[GLHS592]

Now that I think about it, you should get a 4 door Shadow and "Lambo" all 4 doors.

They started putting them on their cars due to the width of the vehicle.

[Whorse]

Which makes them tough to get in and out of.

[CoolV300C]

SO I gues that would be a big no from everyone.

[GLHSKEN]

Most people on this board are not big proponents of "modifying" cars with any type of body kit. Sorry, but I doubt we'll have the answer you need here.

[CoolV300C]

I think I got the answer. It would look goofy. i thought that without the full door frame on the convertible door, it would look better. Guess not.

[Frank]

I think that sealing the window against the weather stripping would be harder to seal.

[CoolV300C]

Probably would be. But it isn't a daily driver. Just to drive on nice days, and the top will be down most of the time.

[Frank]

gotcha. any pics of the convt?

[CoolV300C]

Yeah, here's one. i got it last year with about 55K miles. Planning to put on '87 CSX wheels that I already bought (Just need the rubber) and converting to CSX spec suspension. Then CSX ground FX, and re-paint same color green. Then engine and interior upgrades, but those will come when $$ is available.

[Frank]

Very clean! The only problem with CSX ground effects is that the body trim is slightly different.

[CoolV300C]

How so?
