LAMBO Doors on the ML's

Does anyone have any idea/seen or know any ways of putting Lambo doors on the ML's? what you guys think, would it look tite? I think it won't look bad unless you have a low garage and want to get out might be a problem, other than that, I think it looks cool.

Lambo doors on a tall narrow sport ute? LOL Make sure to reupholster the seats in fake LV and get some 30" spinners. Don't forget the chrome everywhere...

And now for a usable post....
Look into Kleeman USA, they make em' for the SL55 now. They are listed as Scissor doors.

Maybe your could retrofit them to fit the ML. I have seen them on a C Class and on a CL. Even though it looks like **** on some cars

Well since my Trunk door came as scissor door, I think I mind as well make my driver and passenger side scissor too, so that everything matchs, LV seats...now thats a whole different story. The idea came when I was watching MTV's "pimp my ride" and some kid's civic got "scissor'ed", well I"m going to look into the doors and hopefully there is a shop out there that would do the modification but ML's door is very heavy and I need some strong hydralics to make that go up. Also, is there anyone out there that has put a sub into there car without the box, like mounting it up on the side or use the side panel mirror.. stuff like that, so that my cargo space is not scraficed in anyways?

Check out 55fanatic's setup,I'm sure he'll chime in. He has a very good looking fiberglass enclosure that he fabricated in the side where the factory changer is.
Here is his sound domain page

http://www.sounddomain.com/memberpage/490508

and here is a pic.



I'm sure he'll be happy to provide info on a DIY install for the experienced fiberglasser. or you could take the pic and get it done near you. I'm in the process of getting a 12" sub installed in my, but it will be a stealth type box that will raise the floor up enough to mount the sub (firing down). Since I need my cargo area and also need access to the factory CD Changer.

YES YES YES, I will chime in, lol... Although I am an installer that isnt my work on the sub liquid!!! I could do it but explaining it to someone might take some time and if you are a beginner fiberglassing isnt where you want to start... it involves a lot of carcinogens, lol. You need a lot of extra tools and equipment in order to work with it(resperator for example)!!! And liquid the CD changer in my set up got moved to a better location then factory... right under the driver's seat, making for easy access to all 6 CDs
