For show only- garage queens that are trailered in, anything goes.

On a street driven car, I'd not want to risk the strength/safety of the car's side impact characteristics. If the owner/occupant is injured sererly this modification/tampering with the integrity of the door is not going to look good. IMO.

Here is some info of the particular brand. I was surprised that this kit is electric and by the push of a button it opens! Spoke to my friend and he said it should stand day to day opening with the same integrity over time like regular doors. He could do it to all 4 doors, I will stop by his house later on to look at some pics.

For that price and the cost it would take the body shop to install and modify, I could think of quite a few things I could do with that extra $, unless of course you have done everything possible to your car.

For Show : Definitely.
For Panties : Definitely.
Real World Usability : I dunno. I think it may get overused, used on the wrong cars and get VERY OLD, VERY QUICK - It could end up like big rims and spinners. And I KNOW you don't want that to happen.

I agree man, its a beautiful ride, and the lambo doors thing is going to go the way of the add-on spinner pretty soon, ie, played out.

If I were to do the Lambo doors, I would do all 4. I remember seeing a 4 door with all 4 Lambo doors. The front was just like the normal doors but the rear opened like the "suicide doors" or like the RR Phantom. If money wasn't an option, I'd do it.
