Huge Door
The first thing that you touch when you touch your car is the door. A car door is like a
window of opportunity that opens the gateway to new vistas hitherto unexplored.
Any car enthusiast will tell you that the way you enter your car makes a huge difference
to your mindset. A car whose doors open in a unique fashion becomes a source of pride
for the owner. There a number of ways in which you can dress up your car by changing
the way the entry portals open.
There are many varieties of doors out there that will help you if you are looking for that
extra something to add to your car.
Lambo Doors: The easiest way to make your car the centre of attraction is by adding
lambo doors. These type of doors have become very popular over the past few years,
especially since TV shows such as MTV’s pimp my ride, and publications such as Fast
Car, Max, Redline, etc have begun to regularly feature cars with lambo door conversions.
Only the front two doors of a car can be converted to lambo doors. The time required to
fit the lambo door hinges for a new installer is usually about 2 - 3 days although more
experienced fitters may be able to finish the conversion in less than a day. Again this
would depend on the make and also on the model of the car onto which the doors are to
be fit.
Vertical Doors: Vertical Doors are also a great addition to add the show factor to a car.
They are also referred to as butterfly doors, or 90 degree doors. You can call them by
whatever name you prefer, but in the end they give our mundane commonplace car next
door type of automobiles a truly sexy exotic sports car kind of look.
In vertical doors there a number of varieties to choose from. You can choose the
traditional vertical doors that can open vertically using a special type of hinges. These
vertical car door kits use specially made brackets and also gas shock absorbers in order to
open the doors outward then upwards.
These can be adjusted to open further outwards before going up. This adjustment makes
it easier to get in and get out of the car, as a common disadvantage to the door kits is the
difficulty of getting in and getting out of the car.
Others: There are many other types of door modifications that can be done, such as
suicide doors that open exactly in the opposite direction to that of traditional doors. The
hinges in these doors are moved to the other side of the door opening so that it swings the
other way instead of the right way round..
Another popular style is the Dalorian style door as seen in the film “Back to the future”
starring Michael J. Fox. These doors are hinged in the center of the roof. A word of
caution, this type of door would require extensive modifications to the roof.
There are several types of kits available in the market to complement the door conversion
kits. These include kits like the flip flop trunk kits and reverse hood kits. Forming
different permutations and combinations using these kits will transform your mundane
car into a stop-and-stare attraction that will become a magnet for compliments.
