Let us know how the paint takes it. I've heard tales of paint cracking due to the stress the lambo doors put on it...

^ really?? We've installed 15 or so of their kits and have never had paint crack because of the "stress". We've had paint crack because people weren't careful with their doors - twisting them and closing them too early.

Guess i don't understand why... Does it improve the function? maybe in tight parking spots?

Looks great Chris! Not a fan of the doors since they're so played out now, but the lights look great! Keep up the good work.

So you have to be careful not the twist or close the doors "too early." To me, that sounds like an issue with the door...not the customer. How is ingress and egress? It looks a bit tight. How hard is it to pull down the doors? I'm not getting the functionality of the door mod. Does look "cool" though.

If the attempt to close the door is too early, the latch doesn't line up with the latch bar. The bar thus hits the door. Depending on how hard you've tried to close the door, it will cause a ding/dent and therefore chip paint. The hinges have an adjustment that allows you to bring the door down to a stopping point. The stopping point is manually set. We've had several clients try to close the door before it reaches the stopping point therefore causing the issues as mentioned.

looks nice. Odd question but what springs you have on there and how are they?
