I agree with most of you there, but the lambo doors wouldn't look bad on my silver car since almost everyone takes it for a lambo anyway but I am not spending $2,500 just for the kit without labor and I really don't like them on a 4 door car because 2 open up and 2 open to the side that doesn't look right.

lambo doors are nice but even nicer on two door car *imo* to tell you the truth i wanted lambo doors on my lexus but i was gonna have all four doors lambo style * two going foward and the other two going back** but when you look at the cost of it i rather spend that on some type of FI for my car but like everyone says **to each their own**

I remember seeing a pic of a car show and 20 cars in a row had lambo doors. If you want to be wild at a car show I dont think lambo doors will cut it any more. Everyone has them now it seems. I also have to wonder he quality and how they hold up. There us a lot of strain put on those joints to hold the door like that. Im sure that the kits are made well but I would like to see them in the long term, not sure they will hold up to the strain. Maybe you could put that money towards FI or something.

Those wheels on the navigator/expedition whatever are hideous. Sorry to go off topic but they are just ugly. And the doors on the navi is that as far as they open? Looks like it might be kinda hard/tricky to slide in there

Why not gull wing doors? That's pretty different.

However, I don't think lamborghini or gull wing doors look good on any car unless they came with them.

i was honestly considering doing this this summer. but ive reset my priority list to include...other things . lambo doors got knocked down a couple on my list, but i hit the show circuit sometimes and i plan to hit it more often after my long hiatus which involves me finishing the rest of it.

The gullwing doors were popular on the show scene in the mid 90s I believe. I remember going to some shows and seeing this on cars and thinking it looked ugly.

ROFLMAO That has to be about the ugliest GS I've ever seen. It's a shame to see people doing it to FD's but it's absolutely laughable to see it on a GS. People will think you've got a Civic or Integra with a body kit and assume you stole or bought the Lexus badges. Remember Fieros with Ferrari body kits, you could be like them.

On the other hand I have to give credit to the person that mentioned suicide doors. The rear doors done that way could be pretty damn cool and even classy, although illegal I believe.
