Lambo kits consist of a hinge system that simply bolts in using the stock  
doors.  Sometimes there is a little cutting involved too.  It's not a  
difficult 
conversion to accomplish.  I'll volunteer to install one in your  car.  I 
will even give you an emergency hammer to break the window in case  you flip 
over.

How much weight does the  conversion ad?  While I think Lambo (and Gullwing)
doors are "cool", I  must admit, given the possibility that the car may end
up upside down  (having seen more than a couple of do so at the track
(non-Lambos,  admittedly)), how the hell do you get out if you can't open the
door?   Crawl through the window?  IIRC, the Bricklin SV-1 ("Safety  Vehicle
One") had a kick panel in the floorboard to allow emergency  exit.  Which
sounds kinda cool, as you could also use it to Freddy  Flintstone the car, if
need  be....

Vty,
