not really specific or bolt-on i should say. sorry man.

you have to gring away behind the fenders before they will fit. i first talked him about getting these from him back when they were $450 WITH hinges on eBay and his answers to some basic questions scared me soo much that i didn't want to risk it.

i'd rather pay $1500 for more or less universal high quality hinges than get his. be careful with him. lack of availability, poor choice of materials, and complete lack of communication skills make it a hard buy for most people including myself.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Hey i bought some of Shea lambo door kit at first i was not happy at all nothing fit i had to grind the fender and pound it in , I have drill new holes and the were the shock mount was the hinge it self would hit the shock on the way down. and then when the door was up it would rest on the fender and it dented in huge messed it up real good. But after some mods i pretty much re engineered the kits all over again but now it works like a charm. I was a huge pain in my a-- but just the looks that ppl give you its great.

yea f*ck shea.. they werent made correctly and wont fit without a lot of work (to the car and to the hinges themselves) and plus you basically have to make up your own instructions. better to buy from a company that has some kind of warrantee saying it will work lol

So you live in Belleville and have lambos on your Mx-3? I will definately have to see them in the future.
