I echo the sentiments of Neo and Hameed, not my personal cup of tea, but I tip my hat to you for taking a chance and doing what you like.

As far as comments from others (regarding moving to another site), I think these types of things make ClubLexus the BEST site, variety. Honestly, things like this add a little spice to the boards.

I know alot of people are doing this mod lately, be sure to give updates regarding the day to day use, durability, etc

Congratulations! I'll bet that turns a few heads at the local SONIC burger!

I've been in a few "Lambo door-equipped" vehicles, and I found the ingress/egress to be awful- not something I would personally do on a daily driver, but, hey, if the ladies can manage to get in & out, it's all good! (Oh, you say they sit in the back? ). I probably would have spent the dough on coilovers.

Now it is time to lower that beast! What is it with you guys in VA and NOT lowering your cars? I lived in Richmond for a year (back in '96) and I swear my MR2 was the only lowered car in town (of course, I kept the Califormia license plates on it the entire time). I see things haven't changed much!!

Interesting comment........

I didn't realize that most of us do silly or fugly looking exterior mods to our cars...................

I will make sure to keep you guys updated with info on my feelings for the mod as time goes on. You lived in VA so you know how **** they are about vehicle mods. Its hard to lower stuff because of all the speed bumps and stuff like that. For the Lexus owners who have lowered the GS does anyone notice a difference in the ride?

actually... it looks... rather... good. I like it. Looks real clean. now you just have to get the rear doors to flip in the opposite direction and figure out a way to get rid of the b pillar.

Nice job. Personally, I like it. I probably would never do it to my car because (a) I don't have the money and (b) I'd be afraid that something would rattle and I'm a rattle-freak. Best of luck with it.

Yeah I was the one who posted that pic here before. He's a member of Club Aristo in Japan and has some sick engine mods to back up that lambo doors. When I posted and said that I thought it looked pretty alright, I got ripped left and right for saying it....

...so these days I just keep most of my comments abt funky mods to myself....

Default neato doors!! I didn' t ven look at the rest of the car!

Sad to say- I didn't even see the wheels. I really don't know about the thick bling bling of the spokes. if the spokes were thinner, i think it may look nice but that's just my personal taste. If you like them- sweet. also- the C-pillar mirror effect, i personally like how that part looks kinda like the window since it's all black. but again- my personal opinion...


um. wanna trade doors?
