Anyone has experience on the Lambo Door ? Which brand is better in terms of reliability, safety and retrofit requirement ? Will it void any manufacturer warranty ?

I'm sorry but why? If you want Lambo doors my advice is to buy a Lombo

What about T-Tops?

I think the "Lambo Doors" are a pretty cool and exotic look for the Cayman.
Because it's a Porsche, I think you could get away with it. That was actually the first mod my wife every suggested that I get (the regular doors have to be opened very wide to get out so in a tigh spot it's kinda humbug).
Show us pics if you get it!

Aka Wani = Red Croc, formerly known as "The Kloser".

I think its a cool idea, I was thinking of doing that myself. But I tried them in a friend's car, and they require real muscles to pull down!! Although they do look real good. Keep us updated.

P.S. A good brand is LSD

Haaaaaahahahahahahaaaaaaaa....... Too funny....!

OK, to each his own I guess, but the thought of a Cayman with lambo doors brings a tear to my eye. I've seen a lot of those kits installed and in my opinion they are all junk. Close the door wrong and you'll damage the door and the car.

I must also point out that you would be messing with one of the car's safety features. Porsche has implemented a new feature in all of their newer cars called 'body-in-white':



In a nutshell, Body-In-White is a organized concept in chassis design that results in high levels of chassis rigidity and safety. But combining different materials including hardened and boron steel, they have weaved a web of structural support throughout the car to both stiffen it and to allow it to protect its occupants while absorbing a crash. Install lambo doors and you will definitely compromise the work that Porsche has done.

The way Porsche has designed the car, in the event of a severe crash, the braces in the doors will act as an active part of the body cage. During a severe crash, energy is transmitted through the door braces to fuse the door to the body shell, keeping the doors closed. Change those front hinges with hinges that swing upward and you can pretty much be guaranteed that in a severe crash the doors will open because the only thing fighting the torque of them swinging upward is a 1/2" thick pin inside the door latch.

Also keep in mind that there are airbags in the doors. Another reason you don't want them coming open during a crash.

Don't mean to be a party pooper, but sometimes it's easy to overlook things like this.

My response is the same as Busman and Vik: Why? If you want Lambo doors, go buy a Lambo. If you want a 'vertical door kit', go buy a 30k car and buy the kit.

I picked up a girl once and she said the same thing to me: "Hey, you should get Lambo doors because my friend has them on his Mustand and they are soooo cool". My response: "Because .... IT'S .... A ..... PORSCHE!!!"

Discussed here a long time ago. Check out this thread and you can see a picture of the finished product.

I thought someone would get a chuckle out of that!

But GB, LSD's dont change the doors, only the hinges get changed!
