As an aside, the Gallardo (the newest Lamborghini) does NOT have "Lambo" (jackknife) doors.

I'm skeptical you'll be able to pull it off without spending an arm and a leg, but if you do...post pics!

don't waste your money!!! if you think the 944 doors are 'big' try a thunderbird or older caddilac coupe. our doors are about average size. and what are you doing parking in between cars??? park way out under a light pole!

I think it's way too complicated for it to be useful only when you park on a tight spot, which you should be avoiding anyways to keep your door panels nice and smooth.

I saw a pic of a 928 with "lambo" doors, I don't know if it was photoshopped though.

Monster Garage did a gullwing door. What you really need is the clown cannon they made!

try www.decah.net they sell kits, but I don't know if thay have a specific kit for Porsches.

It would look sick though.

Good Luck
