Lambo doors on an RSX = Hot!

Lambo doors on a 4-Door = Wack!

Maybe if all four doors were done it would work...?....?

Guys, let's not forget about another important factor. Many of the cars that have the lambo doors are for show only. They do not open and close their doors on a daily basis. I would bet on a heavy GS door, the door mechanism would slowly get weak and in a few months would no longer work. The lambo doors are more suited for lighter and smaller doors....

Lambo doors are usually for show and not too practical for everyday use.... and as other said, looks kinda goofy on a 4 door to me

If I were going to do anything to the doors I'd do suicide doors on the back, regular on the front. No lambo doors though.

dont do it, period. your car is not a lambo or slr or enzo, so leave the door to those cars. don't overdo your car and make it into something people don't recognize

that's how i see it

I know if only the fronts have lambo it wouldn't look too good. On the other hand, suicide doors in the rear I don't really like. I will ask him if I can have all 4 converted into lambo doors, that way it would look 'better'. I am trying to picture my car with all 4 doors opening up upwards and I really think it would look good. Like Lxogood said I have to ask him how it can hold up to everyday use and the integrity of the door hinges over time. Pretty much the ONLY reason I have seriously debating this is because it is not going to make my wallet thin.

Hey Rominl it funny that you mentioned this, since I got my bodykit on and roof spoiler, wing etc... people comes up to me now and asks me "what kind of car is this?" I say lexus and they respond "Damn, it don't look like a lexus!!"
