They would not be permissible without an engineers certification in some countries such as here in OZ, and good luck getting an insurance company to agree with you that it's a good idea.
Depending on design, they may even compromise structural rigidity.
They probably add weight due to any reinforcement needed to maintain rigidity.
They would make the car a bloody hard place to escape from in the event that it's rolled over.
And they could cause serious injury if they suddenly dropped close whist you were getting in or out of the car, quite literally a scissor action!
Having said that, each to their own. If Lambo doors give you a stiffy, who am I to say you shouldn't do it? It's your car and you can do what you like with it.
The reason that I've posted on this thread, isn't to be a stuffy old killjoy, but to give you some questions to ask and factors to consider in your decision.

It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..

My kit goes on round about 17th May, so will post pics then. The hinges do add a bit a weight as they are a substantial piece of metal and extremely well made, I've seen DDs fitted to his car and they look spectacular.
If a jobs worth doing, it's worth overdoing

That depends if you have a rollbar fitted, not those girly chrome things that wouldn't hold up a feather pillow but a proper rollbar!
When I get around to putting a new top on my car I'll look at fabricating one.
