Lambo door did not and will not go away on modern lamobrghinis. The scissor doors were created to manage the large size and length of the door. The gallardo you see in the picture doesnt have the lambo door because the car is short and has smaller doors. so getting out while parked next to another car is no problem. with door lengths like those seen on the diablo or murcielago you have to have the " lambo doors" because with a long door you wouldnt be able to open the door while parked next to anything. So its not a fad, its a needed feature for the car to allow ingress and egress for the driver and passenger

Simple can go a REALLY long way and this car is just too overdone. The 6 is not an overly attractive car to begin with(not ugly,,, just not overly attractive), and has awkward bodylines which do not lend itself to RADICAL modding forgivingly. The second set of M6 pics with the clean monotone design looked waaaayyyyy better than the original post of this thread. Props on the photog skills, but sadly even that could not make it stand out to me.

Too low for me. Raise it back up 1"...I don't like the appearance of scratching the fender. Otherwise, very cool.

I agree with Tony. The car doesnt steal the show the photograhy does. As my sig says...Less is More and in this case the owner should have adhered to that principle.

i8abmr - I think what Phillipmst was tryin to stress was that the lambo doors may be a necessity on the Lambo but not on a 98 Civic. I think that is what was being referred to as "overplayed" and I agree 100%.

Hate it, looks like a burnt marshmellow

Just slam it, give it 22 inch HRE's, dual dinan intakes/tune and an Eisenmann exhaust and call it a day!
