Hey, anyone know where to get a good lambo style door kit? I was looking through my old rx-7 pictures and I found this pic and i was curious who makes them. I know they are expensive, but its a mod worth having if you have the money.

A good bodyshop into custom work could do it. But Seven doors or any year are HEAVY, Lambo's are carbon fiber, AKA Fiberglass. You can see from the picture a huge metal brace running along the bottom of the door. They would have to redo the latch also. I personally like sisor style doors like the Lambo has (due to the small opening area). But it wouldn't be cheap to do this to a car like the RX7.



Just my thoughts.

Just to clarify, carbon fiber is not fiberglass.

Different material same process... It's carbon matting vs. fiberglass matting.

True, and Epoxy resin versus polyester resin.
