Lambo Doors Bolt on Kit explained
using the 2000 Honda Civic SI
Materials used
in this project:
- Standard
automotive tools -- sockets, ratchets, wrenches
- Box wrench
-10mm wrench
- Screwdriver
- Phillips-head screwdriver
- Anti-seize compound
- Decah® conversion kit, including:
2 bi-directional pivot assemblies, Custom-fit wiring harness
extensions, Wire ties, Gas-door springs,
All required hardware
Important: Included
below are the steps in this automotive procedure as shown in the
episode. These steps are general guidelines. With any particular
vehicle, there may be procedures, specifications, settings,
tolerances, components, etc. that are specific to that vehicle.
There are also variations according to the type and brand of
repair-kit you select. Always consult your vehicle's service
manual when undertaking significant automotive repairs, and read
and follow the manufacturer's directions and precautions that
come with your kit or replacement parts.
This job is
a medium difficulty project, and will generally require two
people. We gave it a difficulty rating of 3 on a 5-point
intermediate-level scale. Experienced gear-heads should have no
problem with these upgrades.
Removing the Front Fenders and
Extending the Factory Wiring-Harness
- To begin installation of the
conversion kit, the front fender must be removed in order to
gain access to the door hinges and the electrics in the door
that controls the lights and door. With the Civic we're
working on in this project, you can get plenty of access to
the fender bolts by removing the one rear screw (figure A).
(figure A)
Gently pull the bumper
cover back to reveal the horizontal bolt in the
center. Remove it, and then also remove the vertical
bolt at the very front edge of the fender.
The fender wells protect the car from water and
debris. They are fastened around the outside lip of
the fender with push-type retainers. To release the
retainers, pry the center pin up with a screwdriver
and pop the retainer loose.
With all of the retainers released, there are
usually a couple of fender well bolts to remove at
the corners.
To remove the side skirt, begin by pulling out the
two bolts at the fender well and the three retainers
underneath. The side skirt retainers are similar to
the fender-well-type, but the center pin is
unscrewed instead of pried out.
When all of the retainers have been removed, free
the skirt by sliding it towards the front of the car
(figure B).
figure B
There are six bolts remaining that secure the fender to the car.
Remove them by starting with the two bolts at the bottom and
then work your way across the three bolts along the top of the
fender (figure C). A ratcheting box-wrench will help you
reach the bolt tucked in behind the door. Also, remove the
door-checker bolt inside the door-jamb.

When all of the
screws are out, pull the fender free (figure D) and set
it
aside in a safe place.

- Tip: Rather than taking both
fenders off, this project is best performed one side at a
time. In that way, you an use the intact fender as reference
for the gaps at the door and hood as you reinstall the first
fender.
-
Next it's
time to extend the factory-installed wiring harness to allow
for clearance for the Lambo-style door conversions. To extend
the harness, you need to first release it by unclipping it
inside the door (figure E).
