I helped a buddy of mine do his sons Magnum. I think that is the same kit. I was surprised by the high quality of the kit it fit the first time.

I know guys that have done this to their cars. After about the second month, doors don't close worth ****.

They look cool for awhile but a friend of mine who has that exact same item on his EVO has had it for like 6 months and the drivers side door is way out of line now when it worked great in the beggining and the passenger side door is starting to go out of line you kinda have to lift the door and put a little hip into it to get it to latch now.

Might help Ford GT owners get in, if someone parks too close to them for those roof-cut doors to allow them access.

Those are not gullwing doors, just plain "lambo" ghetto doors. Put them on your neon or civic....



NOW..... THESE ARE GULLWING DOORS!

Is this a Bricklin that someone put a mercedes emblem on the front? Gullwing doors on their classic mid-50's car was brilliant, gullwing doors on this bricklin lookalike aint doing it for me (as if they give a sheet what I think).

correct it is a Mercedes-Benz they made quite a few, although not really a production car. Some of them even held a speed record or two some or those were diesel, with a more slippery extened body work.

"Gullwing" doors like the original Gullwing Mercedes, are hinged on the roof.

The doors on the link posted are called Lamborghini doors after their Countach, that had those forward hinged style doors.

I would say a tad on the ricer / rapper side, but to each his own!
