Are you doing the installs? If yes or no, you should talk to a local auto body shop that you trust to see what they would charge for houtly rates and other things. I'm sure you would have to get them to do the paint anyway.

im a jack of all trades, well actually ive been doing body work for the last 10 years about at my dads shop. and i love painting. and nobody does lambo doors in this area, probaly not within 4 hour drive of here. i was hopeing some of you guys would know what it takes in your area. i would be selling and installing them if that helps anyone.

Sweet deal Sinister, I've tried to convince my sister to get Lambos on her 2004 mustang for a while but she won't. If I ever get a 2 wheel drive truck I'm going to slam it and lambo the doors. I don't think it would suit a 4x4 very well. I hope you get someone interested soon I wanna see some pics of that.

Im not sure if he got them installed yet or not. But I know hes got the kit.

I would give a guestimate for direct bolt ons of 2-3 hours and $50/hr shop labor.

I would express that its a ball park figure and the charge will be hourly.

HAHA I sold that kit. They are a god damn waste of money. Now that vertical doors have been out for a while, we finally get to see their life span. Go to any car show, and there will be tons of cars with vertical doors, and they are usually crap. even the direct bolt ons turn to crap. Here is a statistic for ya : THE AVERAGE LIFE SPAN OF A VERTICAL DOOR HINGE IS 8 MONTHS. After that, they start dropping, and wobbling back and forth.

As for 2-3 per door, no way. Unless you install them ALL DAY EVERY DAY, it will EASILY take you 7-8 hours PER DOOR. That is NOT being unreasonable. Plus, you need 3 guys to do it. don't forget, you have to EXTEND ALL THE FACTORY WIRING AND SHAVE THE FENDER.

All in all, they are a huge pain in the ass, and not worth the cost or labor. Going rate to install is around $1000 for a direct bolt on kit. I've only heard of a few shops willing to do it for less.
