hey guys.. i just order'd some weld in Lambo door hindges from AVS and go'n to be installing them on a guys 1997 gmc 1500 fullsize truck..... can anybody tell me what im in for .... LOL... like amount of work involved and what else i might need... im guess'n extending the wires in the door jams ... . cut'n off the hindges and etc.... just need some advise and maybe some helpfull tricks on the installs..... i dont have the hindges yet, prob would help me out if i had it in my hands... but want to get all the info i can on this.. thanks.... ohh whats the go'n rates on install at shops for theses and im guess'n the paint on the doors should be touch due to weld'n since im only weld'n in the jams? thanks!!

send em back and get your money back there not worth it, and there a PITA to [put on.

the only help u need is how to bolt ur stock hinges back on buddy!!! Those things are junk and will just destroy ur paint, latches, etc!!! They totally suck Ass!!!!

^^^YA WHAT HE SAID ^^^^
WE JUST FINISHED A AUTOLOC. KIT ON A CADILLAC AND IT WAS A BITCH , THE ONLY WAY IM DOING IT AGAIN ,,, IS IF I GET A BOLT ON KIT ,THEN WELD IT IN AFTERWARDS ... GOOD LUCK BRO !! WONCE WE FINALY GOT IT ON AND WORKING , THE OTHER SIDE WENT FAST , BUT WILL NOT DO AN AUTOLOC. KIT AGAIN !!!

thanks for the input guys....
but the question was , what am i in for? i understand theres go'n to be alot of hard work. ive been do'n custom work for past 12 years for shops /myself/others ... ive done alot of odd ball things to minis to rods..... but ive never installed a lambo door kit ... this is for a customer , not me ..... so if you have any advise that can help me on the install .. that would be great..... if custom work was easy, everybody would be do'n it thereselves.... so i understand its go'n to be a pain...
thanks...

IT IS ALOT OF WORK BUT IF YOUVE BEEN DOING FABRICATING FOR 12 YEARS YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT...THERE IS A SIMPLE STEP BY STEP GUIDE THAT COMES WITH THE HINGES. MOST SHOPS CHARGE $800-$2000 A DOOR...BUT THIS IS THE WRONG FORUM TO ASK FOR LAMBO HELP ON...YOU MIGHT HAVE BETTER LUCK ON A CAR SITE EVEN THOUGH YOUR DOING IT ON A TRUCK...ONCE YOU GET YOUR KIT AND LOOK AT THE STEP BY STEP GUIDE WE CAN HELP YOU AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

i just installed the vertical kit on a friends integra, it a weld on kit and i didn't take but about 30min a door. it was the first on i ever done. i just took it a part and cut the part of the hinge that mounts to the door to fit in a good flat spot. then put the hinge back to gether took the top door hinge off and welded to the door and made sure the lambo was straight and flat on the inner support, then welded it up. and it works great.

hmmm 30mins a door?????? i havent heard it takin less than a few hours.

At $800 to $2000 I only have one word...SUICIDE

the best way to install them is open the trash can and toss em in, and tell the customer its for there own good.
