i think...all you have to do jaws is un bolt everything at once and it will slide off as one giant piece

his side skirts is molded too... which then goes to the rear quarter.... i dont think it can be done
from having them no, you need to remove the fender to do this really...ALTHOUGH with EXTREME care and a small hand if you remove the plastic lining i think you might have like 3" of space to work with inside the fender..this will make your task VERY VERY daunting as the bolts must be loosened and then tightened several times during the adjustment of the door and original installation you would have to do with a small box wrench by hand.....personally i pitty the man who can't remove his fenders as the are pretty heavy hinges and require adjustment and so forth......good luck daniel let me know if you need anything else.............btw you can't remove your entire front in 1 piece unless your missing a good number of bolts...you have 4 bolts under the headlights plus 1 up inside the fender the headlights won't come out with out having the bumper removed so unless you are like me and found an alternative way to mount your stuff...your front won't come off in 1 large piece
wow talk about ressurection from the dead lol

Is this good enuff 4 ya? :D

we have yet to try lambo's on my celi because we put them on our mustang. But YES it will rust!!!! Our kit came from REDRUM and was a really nice kit and the guys there are really helpfull. The actual bracket hasn't rusted exept in places where we knicked it, its the nuts and bolts that have rusted really badly!
The car looks great, however the kit your using looks like a cheap Chinese rip off. Use the like below to get more information. I am concerned that there is no reinforcement of the chassis before the kit is bolted on. This would support the bolts when the doors are open in windy conditions. I also note that there is only one bolt holding the to of the hinge onto the car? I have had my lambo doors on my car for nearly two years and they are still going strong. You do not need to extend the wires as there is some slack in the wiring on the car.

mainstream kits run as low as $500, but 6gc hinges are anything but mainstream. custom kits are usually around 850. u should never have to pay more than 900 unless they're the automatically lifting ones.

professional installation varies but shouldnt cost more than 1000. It's pretty hard to do but not unpossible. The pictures on here should give you an idea of what to expect. The only thing i wish i did differently was i wish i cut the fenders more instead of rolling them. rolling warps the middle of the fender outward and there still is a small amount of rubbing.

I think it's harder to line it up without the shock. It REALLY helps if you have other people helping you out with this. The first time i installed these, i needed someone to hold the door up and stuff, but the second time around i did the job solo. Yeah one man lambo door job is tough smile.gif
the kit is used from a 6gc member.. and i do have my dad helpin me hold stuff but its still hard.. maybe i was just really tired last night i got a late start thinkin i could have it all done by 12 but now its sunday and its not even part pf the way done

I also bought my kit used off a 6GC member (forkee). It can be a pain, but it's all about trial and error. Basically, my doors still don't line up perfectly, or open good. I just need to find the time to micro adjust them.
im not puttin it back together till it lines up right.. i dont want to have to take any of that apart again ever lol but i kno i will be
