Yeah I'm tired of seeing Lambo doors myself. Lambo doors on anything besides a Lambo was always corny to me.

I dont think Lambo doors are the Devil, as some others do. I just really feel they should only be on a certain type of car. For instance the company LSD uses a modded Mercedes R230 SL with Aero Kit, aggresive fit MAE 20" wheels, and really low stance to promote their kits, and on a car like that they kinda work (it puts me in the mind of the HAMANN Gullwing M3 concept). Also if you have a clean car like the SL with simple mods (aero, wheels, ice) and you want to add carshow pizzazz I understand the lambo doors, especially a company like LSD which allows you to open the door in a conventional manner (stealth lambo doors LOL)
There is also a wicked turbo supra on the east coast show scene with 19" HRE's, full chrome engine, lowering, ICE and NO kit, and on that car they work, because the exterior is so simple, it adds a little twist to a otherwise clean car.
I think it all goes to crap when installed on a 94 honda accord station wagon, or lincoln navigator. I am not the judge and jury for modding, but I personally just dont think lambo doors flow well on 4 door cars, they always look "stubby" to me. I think when you see them installed on all of these odd cars (like 88 Honda civic wagon, or the ford f150 ) is when the negative views really get heated.
I think 2 door cars with frameless doors work the best with these conversions. Its always funny to see a guy with a framed door swing it and duck to avoid cutting his own head off LOL

I personally don't see it too often and think it's pretty cool, even on Civics and station wagons.
It's just like everything else that is considered "cool". To be "cool" by American standards, is to be exclusive. I think most people will agree to that. Once everyone is doing what was once considered cool, it then becomes common place.
Everyone should have Lambo doors, expecially big SUV's. We would all live in a door ding free world. Rejoice......

I also really don't see them too often. But while at the NOPI show there several with the lambo doors that look like s@#t. Like someone else mentioned they look good only on certain cars.

I need to find the pic of the Lamborghini Gallardo with the Vertical Door Conversion. It actually looked at home!
