And yeah... single exhaust?

Looks good man, did u do it yourself with stuff from a hardware store or did u buy a kit?? That trunk flip is easy and can be done for about 10 bucks from a hardware store. I roll with a custom car club and there are a few guys that have that done also. As for the Lambo doors, I am not trying to tell ya that you shouldnt do it, I am just sayin that my friend has em and they are cool, but very akward and expensive. What sux even more is that they only make kits for a few cars right now. The SHO would require a custom job. They are already expensive to do, I am currently kicking around the idea of them for my Trans Am, problem is a custom install isnt cheap. Either way looks nice, let us know the result of them.

Looks nice. I did the trunk flip on my 98 when I had it, but don't know how to do it on my 93, since the rails go inside the trunklid. Can you post directions and closeup pics of the install, I would apreciate it. As for the lambo doors that would be unique...I would go with suicides on all 4 doors...but thats just me :evil_gri: .

i had to cut the trunk because the hindges go inside , i left the top bolt in and took the bottom out and drilled a hole for a pin to go in , ,the trunk mod didnt cost anything ,mine looks like **** cuz i cut it to much , but im also doing a trunk lid mat so it will cover it , im bout to do my friends trunk it has the same hindges , ill take pics as i go and show ya'll , its really easy ,take out the 4 bolts, undo the lock and pull out the inside release and undo the to wires on the left for the power trunk and light , pull the trunk off , lay it flat , cut the left side of the trunk where the hindge will hit just enough so it slides through , and tahts about it , took me 10 minutes at the most ,

So why do the trunk flip? Just beacuse? :shrug:
because its different. i love it. anything to make my car stand out. i would love to see some gull wing doors on a sho, would be a pain in a crowded parking lot though. i allways liked having the hood flip forward, but that turned into a huge pita.good work get some up close pics.

Thats cool man. Are the brackets your making gonna be able to open regular too or are u just gonna "lambo"? I have thought about attempting to make my own bracket, but I'm not that good with metal. Keep me posted on your progress. If it were me I would go Lambo on the fronts and suicide on the rears, that will look awesome.

p.s. is it me or is everyone on this forum from Ohio lately??

when you drill the holes for the bottom screw to go it push the trunk lid farther up than the original hole or it wont close all the way at the window ,,, this is how i did it , on the sho it will look like mine , but the aleros trunk wont flip far
