Its not the kind of mod that should be done on the cheap. Cheaper kits for lambo doors tend to give trouble.
Just my opinion but its also the last mod I'd make to an FTO - money can be better spent on just so many other areas of the FTO.

It's not my cup of tea but I reckon you'd get them for cheaper if you bought an FTO with it already done.
You'd also be able to try them out and see if they're a good fit and hopefully transferring them over won't be too bad seeing as you should have all the extra fittings you need. You could then stick in your standard doors and sell it or else break it if needs be.

Finding one is easier said than done though I imagine.

I've looked into it before and there is no such thing as a direct bolt on kit for lambo doors for an FTO, no matter what the company will tell you. I was in contact with the fella in the UK who is making the roadster, he installs lambos for a living, and he ended up taking them off the roadster as they did nothing but cause him problems. Lambos are not meant for a car that is getting constant use, they are for show cars only, the hinges are not up to the job unless they are designed by the correct people, ie Lambo engineers, Keoningsegg engineers, people that are paid a fortune to do it. The kits you buy online for the FTO are actually Evo hinges and you end up modifying them yourself to make them fit properly and work properly. The other thing to watch is the strength of the hinge, if the hinge isn't strong enough the door will just fall back down as soon as it lifts, cheaper is not the best option and if you want to make them work it will be to get someone who has installed a lot of them and knows what they are on about, and therefore expensive.

You can get kits for the FTO but they do vary in price http://turborevs.org.uk/lambo%20door%20kits.htm

I had lambo doors put on my last fto - they do look really nice and get a lot of attention - with my doors i used a universal kit at the time and had it welded on which was a mistake as the passenger was done slightly out of place so did experiance extra wind noise at + speeds

Also the gas shocks do sometimes fail and you'll be left with a dead weight door untill you can order a replacement shock.

But I would certainly reccomend a bolt on kit if you are thinking of doing the conversion - also you can get the electric opening kits which would be pretty cool
