not relevant....

i haven't seen one. I think I could design one pretty easily if i made the effort. I picture that it could be done for &lt;$80 in parts, including the cylinders. I have contemplated doing it but decided it wasn't worth the effort, I am not that into the flashy stuff, i just like to go fast.

I agree it can be done pretty cheaply. That is how those companies got so big so fast!! They take $500 in labor or R&D sell a product that costs them $30-$40 to make and sell for over a grand! kudos to them for being able to do it!

Funny story....the other day I am at the gas station in my Acura Legend (rollin stock and incognito). This dude rolls up in the muth**$%#@%# hideous Civic hatch...bodykit, dual massive canisters....complete trash right. Well I am on the phone with my boy and tellin him how rotten this car looks. Well, the driver opens the door slightly....then up, and I am like awww god he has the lambo ****.

Well, dude jumps out, looks around checkin for people jockin his garbage (at this point I think the dude realizes he left somethin in his car right). Well he turns really quick, kind of bending at the same time....apparently forgets he has lambo doors and smacks his stupid ****** face right off of the bottom of the door. Lemme tell ya', I was f*ckin WEAK!!! This mothafucker was grabbin his face...all fucked up....hahahahaLOL....he musta just put them on last week or something...fucked himself all up.

Go get some Lambo doors O.P. , more people deserve to see this kind of situation unfold, as I did. Funny stuff!

R&D is more like $3000 per car cause your kit will not fit the first time perfectly and door / cars arent the same from side to side(FORD) and cost to MFG is between 250-600 per car when running production. The Shocks are the most expensive parts. then include all the other aspects 1000 is easily had to be profitable. Yet Overhead is up there to we had parts laser & waterjet cut, Youll need a cnc mill, cnc lathe, TIG welder, Sand Blaster, Powder coating etc and a good manufactur of gas springs. I stopped making them after I got robbed, didnt have the cash to put 50-100k in inventory
