looking at the hhr and the way the front fender comes out toward the driver door i dont think lambo doors would work. so does anyone know if im wrong? just think what that 2 door concept would look like with lambo doors.

i know gull wing doors would work can someone photochop an hhr with lambo doors and gull wing doors?

All I want is suicide doors. I don't think lambo doors would look good on a hhr.

Who wanted Lambo Doors?

Or, maybe gull wings?

I agree 100%. Lambo door only look good on high end imports that are meant to have them.

I love the rims with the moon hubcaps. I hope someone makes them and that they are no just one offs. Very classic looking.

lol it has to be so hard to close them gull wing doors.

Hard closing, what about getting in vehicle????

lol it has to be so hard to close them gull wing doors.

I would be more worried about opening them. I would hate to be stuck in my vehicle because i had to take a tight parking spot.

I loved those doors where can I get them

Godfather customs in Atlanta, GA, cutomized those doors on that vehicle.

Looks like getting in the one with lambo doors is difficult at best...they dont have the right shape for it. I really wish people would tone down the chrome, though. IMHO, chome is an accent, like fine jewelry, when too much is worn it looks like costume jewelry.

Actualy as much as I hate to say it I think lambo doors would work well with the HHR. I dont think you would have to roll the fenders. There is no right or wrong shape for doors the problem is the fenders. Most cars don't have the right shape fenders and they hang up on the opening. Solution? Change the shape of the fenders where the door hangs up. Some cars work well like the 99'-04' Mustang (no rolling required), some don't like most Japanese imports (requires fender work).

I like the lambo doors it is just that they cant open to 130 degrees which would let you in better and if i cant get my doors open to 130 degrees then i dont want it. but it would look good if you had them and they oped up with the touch of your remote

What about doors that open together form the center. I dont know the exact name of them. But the front woudl open normally, and the rear doors would open in reverse. I've seen them on the Mazda RX8. I think those doors woudl look sweet on the HHR. I wouldn't have the slightest idea on how to get that done though. lol. Probably cost a good amount.

I dont know the exact name of them...... and the rear doors would open in reverse.

Known as "suicide doors".:thumb:

I always have a bunch of ideas for my HHR, and suicide doors is one of them. And it's actually one my wife said she'd like. Now just have to wait for the warranty to be up...with how many miles I drive it won't be long.

Found a thread with picture on another forum
http://www.hhrclub.org/forum/suicide_doors_P5796.htm

Lambo doors work well on the HHR. I had Vertical Doors, Corona, Calif. do mine. If you go to their web site you can see my HHR (Harvey) and the orange/white one is Fear One. It will cost you about $2,500.00 for lambo. I chose Vertical because there is no welding, and the guy that designed them had done some work on the early space shuttles, so I figured he knew metals. The reason they don't open any wider, or go higher is due to the design of the fenders and hood of the HHR. If you want the look then you have to put up with what you have. As far as suicide doors go your talking about $5,000.00 dollar due to the fact that the rear portion that they would have to swing from is so weak in the HHR. That area has to be rebuilt to stand up to the swinging of the door. Lots of time and time is money.
If you want to see HARVEY with the doors up you can go to Californiacruisers.com and look for (Harvey the HHR) I hope this has helped. I LOVE THE VERTICAL DOORS no problems and they have been on for 2 plus years. Harvey is driven every day. If you have any questions please feel free to pm me.
See ya down the road

:laughabov great pic, hadn't seen it before

I don't know about you but...
i think they look great on an hhr, could be because i have them,
could be because i can't open my doors without a crowd of people asking questions or gawking, could be because i win car shows, or....
it could just be because it's cool!
go HHR's
contact me to see my car with the doors up or go to my gallary! or with questions about the doors functioning or where to get them how to get them pricing anything!
Don't get ripped off!

Caponecar Nice Figure I'd post one pic for us to see here. What is the wingspan?:thumb:

I been thinking about this along time to. i always wanted them but was worried about getting in and out of the car. Caponecar can you send me a pm about pricing and where you got them?

I was going to PM you caponecar, but I somehow can't seem to get it working. PM me with the details too, I would love to mix this in with a shaved door kit :thumb:

"Lambo doors" are a car show gimmick that adds a ton of weight (the hinges usually weigh 50+lbs apeice), and decrease performance and gas mileage. The aftermarket installs are usually done with off the shelf hinges that look cool at first, but upon closer examination you'll see that they swing and rock in the wind like they're gonna fall off the car. You have to lift them yourself, with the assistance of the hydraulic piston which I've seen blow. If the pistons are strong enough to lift the door (even very slowly) under their own strength, you better have monstrous triceps if you plan to close them. If the pistons blow, try getting in and out of your car when you have to lift up and support the full weight of the door during ingress and egress. Installs are either a pain in the ass or prohibitively expensive. I have installed them and adjusted them on two celicas, and it's a stupid mod not worth the work or the money. Get some forged name brand wheels, coilovers, a quality set of tires, custom upholstery, a stereo system, a turbo kit... just don't waste your money on these.

that would be your opinion...looks good capone

Re-reading my post, I want to clarify that my intention was not to insult those who have vertical doors. Capone's doors do look like a very nice (and expensive) install. Still, I think the money could have been better used elsewhere.

if I had the money to do it or the skills to do it my self, I would like to see the front doors stretched some, eliminate the rear doors and make the front ones suicide. in essence turn a 4dr into a 2dr

Here's a short thread about making a 2 door HHR........

i put lambo doors on my 93 si and it was the worst mistake of my life

I had mine put on by Vertical Coors in Corona, Cal. Go to their web site and you can see my HHR and Fear 1. The doors close tight and my wife is small and doesn't have any problem opening the doors. I think that this is a good case of you get what you pay for. I have had mine on for more than 2 years and I love them. I think they are a lot of fun and they do attract attention. If you don't want attention then for sure don't do this mode

See post #19, this thread.

Just make sure they open out as well as up. I would post the link but the photos of folks who were trapped in (upside down) burning cars with lambo or gullwing doors are really nasty.

I thought all lambo doors opened out as well as up?

My doors do open out and then up. With the body style of the HHR it does not allow you to open out as far. The smoother the side of your vehicle is the wider they open out and the further up the door will move. Now this is with Vertical Doors of Corona, Cal. I don't know about the others.

Jeff you need to show at SocalHHR event, we would love to check out the car! Todd (Uma)

I think the other hhr's will get a kick out of seeing my ride.
cant wait!

haters dont undestand....

i must be hater cus i dont understand... shouldnt lambo doors be on a lambo?? or atleast a full show, or heavily modified vehicle??

Not being a hater..... But with my back I doubt I could get in and out of that car. Maybe that's the point, you don't want me in your car :lol:

Remember i am sponsored... No $ out of pocket just time...
And professional doors open & close like normal doors i have handicaped people that get in and out of my car frequently
with no problems its actually easier for them with the doors.
It's also easier for me to get my equipment in & out of the car with the evo doors.
Just clarifying things...
