its not bad at all the system i use has a dual shock set up and the instructions say it will support up to a 350 pound door our door weighs 70-80 pounds so it lifts them with ease but the set up is a two metal tipped gas shocks similar to the ones that hold our hoods open

I love the doors !!!!! And the headlights for that matter. Whenever you get your headlight situation figured out, let me know. I might just commission you to do mine, if your interested. Beautiful work my friend

hey clk amg. the car looks great man i'm personaly not a fan of lambo doors but i can appreciate the originality and the effort. but everything looks great just as you mentioned needs a bit of adjustments. and after that youre on youre way. i'm trying the headlights as we speak i bought them about 5 months ago and i've been messing around with them here and there but the bottom is the problem. i'm gonna try this idea that i've had this weekend and if it works i post you some pictures. but keep up the good work man. i'm also working on some clear led tail lights (with the clear red lens not the icy lens) for my 208 as soon as they are done i'll send you some pics.

True. I think it's only "acceptable" if it's authentic. And then, it's still questionable.
