F.A.Q. Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Can I open them normally and up depending on what I feel like?

Answer: Yes, it has up to 25 degrees of horizontal motion.

Question: I want the doors to go straight up (not butterfly doors)?

Answer: That's precisely why GT Factory has the undisputed best looking system, they do look straight up like the original Lamborghini.

Question: Have you taken into consideration the weight of the door and glass?

Answer: Yes, the lift supports supply 300 pounds of force per side to motivate the doors up. On most cars the supplied lift supports make the door feel weightless when you lift it up. Cars with light doors will feel like the door wants to spring up on its own when you lift it.

Question: What is the GT Factrory Complete Diablo Bolt On System like while in motion?

Answer: It opens out then up, then closes down and in. It is limited to the L shape pattern. The door will not hit the quarter panel or rocker panel, or the hood, or the A pillar, or the fender. Opening the door like the stock motion before it goes up allows us to use all of the factory locks, latches, seals, and wiring.

Question: What parts am I getting?

Answer: The cost includes 2 Nickel plated Diablo hinge conversion mechanisms, 4 Gas charged lift supports, all stainless steel hardware, Loctite and instructions.

Question: What makes the GT Factrory Complete Diablo Bolt On System different from the other lambo style conversions available?

Answer: First the unique mechanism and swing arm allows the door to rise straight up and over the fender up to 90 degrees vertical. The other kits flop the door on its side when up and only allow you to lift the door about 60 degrees. Second this kit is simply stronger. The mechanism and swing arm have zero flex which prevents the doors from wiggling around in the air when they go up. Lastly, we have the only four way adjustable kit out there, so with a twist of a wrench you can keep the door perfectly aligned with the car when closed, and you can make sure both doors match when they are up. The bottom line is that every feature of the GT Factrory Complete Diablo Bolt On System was designed to be the best, from the stainless hardware to the nickel plated finish, and GT Factory backs it up with a guarantee!

Question: What modifications are necessary to mount the GT Factrory Complete Diablo Bolt On System on my car? Answer: You must cut the inner edge of the fender and cut or flatten chassis extrusions that prevent the swing arm proper horizontal range.

Question: Is the GT Factrory Complete Diablo Bolt On System reliable enough for my daily driver?

Answer: Yes, the GT Factrory Complete Diablo Bolt On System is stronger and more precise than your factory hinge.

Question: Will the door jam look nice with the door open?

Answer: Yes, because the entire nickel coated mechanism is concealed within the fender area except for the swing arm extending from the slot cut in the inner fender. Over all it looks quite clean and like an O.E.M. item. The car also appears completely unchanged with the door closed.

Question: Is the conversion legal and safe?

Answer: It's the customer's responsibility to check the local laws in his/her area. We have not found any law that prevents this type of modification. The Diablo mechanism machined from thick Chromoly steel is stronger than the factory hinges and uses the factory latch therefore you can be sure it is safe.

Question: Can I have the GT Factrory Complete Diablo Bolt On System motorized?

Answer: We do not offer the GT Factrory Complete Diablo Bolt On System with a motorized option because it is the manufacturer and our experience that the installation and parts are very costly. At the same time, through trying to motorize it, you will sacrifice the reliability and daily drivability which are the important advantages designed into the GT Factrory Complete Diablo Bolt On System.
