Check out Drew Brothers Customs out in Chandler. I have had work done there in the past and they do awesome work.
I have known a few people who have done this mod and to tell you the truth I would not waste money on this. The fit never comes out right and they tend to sag after time. I have seen a lot of Lambo doors on show cars, mosty imports and 300's, but never on a Mustang. Personally I would not do it, but it is your ride. If you are going to drop that kind of coin put it towards a tune or power adder or other body mod. Good luck!

Let me save you some grief and $$$. I have put "lambo" doors on a mustang. First you need to know that if this is going to be a show car ONLY, then you may like this mod, but if this is a everyday driver, you are going to be VERY unhappy. The best kit out there is vertical doors, they are made in the USA, good quality, stay away of anything else as they are made in china and just plain crap, your doors WILL fall off!
Now with that said, all these door kits have a main problem, when you go to shut the door, you must be sure the door is ALL the way down in the closing position, you can not put any pressure down on the door as you close it or any lift on the door, such as closing the door with your fingers under the latch. If you do, you are going to either, scratch or scrape or even break the latch, and believe me you WILL.
Ya, it looks cool, but let the imports do it, they have lighter doors, your's are heavy and are going to be VERY hard to line up and KEEP lined up.
Just like he said above, it's your car do what makes you happy, but this mod is not for a everyday driver and will only lead to grief, I know, because I have done it, I ended up selling that mustang, and I do NOT have lambo doors on my current mustang, I learned the hard way.

:z7shysterical: I think wades got it right, every time I see a car with lambo doors I think "man what a waste of a car that could look good". that being said it's your car and your spending the money so do what ever you want. good luck

The Mist Mobile in the movie Kick-Ass had those doors. Good movie BTW.

Yeah, Not a huge fan of the Lambo doors on a Stang... Like Keving said also if this is going to be your driver.... Pain in the Arsh!

I kinda thought the Lambo Doors went out with Disco and polyester bell bottoms and moon roofs cut with sabre saws. I actually saw a guy that had them on a Corvette and about the third time he tried to close the door, it broke off.

Gotta say, That eclipse is actually kinda cool. Different. Same with the mustang. JD in my opinion do what you want. You car. I would also say if your looking for something different then this is an awesome way of going and if you do it right it wont fall off. Id say do it and see how many people come to the realization that its kinda cool as it grows on them. It just takes the one person to make it stand out. Just my opinion, If i had the cash layin around i prolly would just to be different. :)

I saw some cool Lambo doors last night........oops that was too many beers and Spocks ears. Hey Austin when you get some extra money why don't you put tail fins on your car......now thats different!

thought about it. Some 50's caddy fins? nice. paint it purple with green strips. call it the dominator!
Just say no on the Lambo Doors! You will regret every second of it in about 6 months, maybe sooner. One Hundred years ago I had lambo doors on a Chevy Luv truck, they were awesome initially but in just a short time I had many issues. Do what you like and make it your own, but personally it would be something I would really reconsider.
AlLSO - This is just my opinion man do what makes you happy!

I won't even look at a Mustang with lambo doors. Sure its different, but just dumb. Again that's just my .02 and its your money but if you get tired of the car, just look at the resale aspect of it.
