Lambo doors

[flatlander]

Just wondering if anyone on the C8 forums has installed so called "Lambo doors", and if so, would you share what your experience has been? Is entry/egress improved or compromised? Do they stay aligned or need constant adjustment? Could my wife lift/close them? Yada yada.

I don't believe anyone on here has done it. From what I hear on other forums they are not very strong and can be awkward to open. Sure they look cool, but I don't think they are very practical.

Not a Lambo hasn't anything to do with it... It's like any other mod... Do it for the looks... How many of our members put Lambo tail lights on their Vettes...Not my style either but to each their own...

Additionally, can you open them in a trailer or seacan????

From what I have heard, here's the thing with any of these kits. You will ALWAYS need to adjust them every few years to keep things in alignment. I couldn't be bothered with the extra headache of dealing with a body shop, and one can spend hours upon hours trying to get panels to line up and still not get it perfect. My OCD could not handle that.

A Vette is a snug fit in a sea can at best. A standard sea can interior width is 96 inches. A C8 is 76.1 inches with the mirrors folded in. That only leaves you slightly less than 10 inches clearance each side. The lambo doors open vertical but do pivot out some as well. Looking at the picture, if you crowd the right sea can wall some, it looks like you can probably get the driver's door open. The max legal width of a road trailer is 102 inches so could be marginally a bit more space.
