928 with Lambo Doors?
I was wondering if anyone has seen a 928 with Lambo doors? The new smaller parking spaces really suck. Having Lambo's installed seem to be the way to go. Anyone done it?

Of all the cars that could REALLY use an upward swinging door, the 928 is one of them. Every 928 owner becomes a contorsionist at one point or another trying to get out in a tight parking space. When opening a passenger 928 door for a lady, I have many times used my hand as a sacrifice to save my door (and the car next to us)...
I'll never install these on my cars...just saying it would be practical... UNLIKE a Honda...

You will need the hinges that move the door out a few inches then up. Same as late model corvette. Only question is if the front jamb fender area is wide enough to accomodate the hinge.
Once in the car you may find it impossible to reac the door to close it. Coolest with actuaries but you need 2 each side (one out, one up).
Done a few IMHO more pain than pleasure to live with.

I found a few sites with "butterfly" door setups for the 928.... But imagine if the gas cylinder failed..... Talk about missing fingers and limbs... 928 doors are HEAVY...

There are places that sell the hinges, and then you have a shop weld them in for you... They are universal, for any car... That's why you see so many of them now.
