Others will chime in I'm sure. I would say absolutely yes. The only thing holding me back is two things, my concerns with my warranty (07') and the games I'm sure to experience with the dealers/Chrysler and the cost to a lesser degree.

Is there a Lambo door kit specifically for Crossfires?

my warranty is up at the end of july, so that isnt a concern, nor is the money.

No, what is normally done is you buy a Lamborghini and switch doors and cup holders. Involves a bit of cutting and fitting but the effect is truly something to see.

yes there are some made for the crossfires, but which is the best one to go with? and more importantly, who do you get to install it? i was looking at Vertical Doors Inc.

Talk to Randy in Miami ... he has Lambo doors on his daughter's car. They look good, but if not adjusted correctly then the door can get torn up. I'm sure that he can share some of the challenges with you.

Sorry had to post it.

I think they could look good, but only if your car is a show car...and it is the last thing needed to be done to make it complete...the very last thing

I've seen Randys' and they look good on his car. Although the hinges he used seemed a little flimsy to me. When up the doors would sway a little with the wind. Personally I don't like them. Now a xfire with gull wing doors now that would be something!

I am sure Karl (SRT SIX) can help you out. He has a great set on is SRT and they look great and are patented and made in America. I have been contemplating for a while, but I think it may be a little too over the top for me right now. Contact SRT SIX and he will give you additional info and provide you with pricing, very fair in my opinion...

RMADERMAN & Ichon both have lambo doors, you should contact them and ask about any issues they may have. Personally I look at it this way. If you make a mod like this are you planning on keeping your car or trading it in or selling it down the road?. If you have no plans to get rid of it by all means go with it but if you are gonna get rid of your car in a year or two, unless you remove them I think they would go against you in a trade situation, not sure in a sale, you might find someone who likes them, or doesn't and that could be a deal breaker. Lambos are a pretty big mod so be sure its what you want and makes sense in your situation. There are other things I'd do to my car first before doing a mod like that, lambos have never excited me.
