Swing up doors?

[Paul Maurer 2]

I have seen 2 new F-150s in the past month with doors that seem to pivot at the front pillar and swing up to open! Interesting look- though you have to be stopped for anyone to notice. Anyone have info on this? Applicable to ST?

You can get a kit from a company like <a href="http://autoloc.com/" target="top">AutoLoc</a>. The kit is not easy to install, and is usually reserved for show type cars where function and usefullness takes a back seat. All it is is a revised hinge and latch mechanisim, the style is usually called "scissor" style, "lambo" style, and less accurate, "gullwing" style.

A couple of cars at the car show I was in last weekend had those. They change the hinges and move them up a little. The guy said it costs $550 and up. I asked his girlfriend if she ever hit her head on the door and she said she just did that morning. She said it happens alot until you get use to it. Gary D. in CT

lamborgini doors as they are often refered to......



I do not think they come stock on F-150's though, LOL

Lambo doors are over played. If you do them do the rears as suicide.

Hey SST, sent you an e-mail.

Try parking your ST at the mall with Lambo Doors.

They are not very practical for a street driven vehicle. The real problem is that many parking garages at airports, malls and hospitals have very low ceiling heights and those Lambo doors require a good bit of head room, and on a tall truck it makes it even worse.

I like them, but like RichardL said they arent very practical...and they are expensive as hell!

I like the suicide door look myself. The plus about lambo doors is you don't have to worry about opening up and dinging the vehicle or cart next to your ride.
