Lambo doors on a Lambo = cool.

Lambo Doors on anything not exotic = Fail

Lambo doors on a 4 door = Permanent facepalm

it was a fad that was meant to die out. people have tried it on the most interesting selection of cars (saw the civic pic....ouch), and i dont see people wanting to mod their cars to be the butt of other people's jokes. although i applaud those who wanna modify their rides, the lambo doors just dont do it for many's eyes anymore, i think.

If he wants to "follow his heart" he can just go do exactly that and not post threads asking our opinions instead.

just to clarify, the reason why they're caled "lambo doors" is because we see them more often on lamborghini's.

however, they're actually called "scissor doors," because the opening/closing motion of the door resembles that of a scissor. the McLaren F1 and the Ferrari Enzo have a variation of them (butterfly doors), so does the Mercedes Benz SLR. so it's not just a fad, it's commonplace amongst exotics.

so why do exotic car makers use scissor doors instead of regular doors? might be aesthetics, to set them apart from the mass-produced vehicles? or is it because of engineering - that the doors are made of space-age lightweight materials such that they can use a smaller rotating mechanism instead of hinges? or because these exotics are so wide, and that their doors are slightly longer, that side-opening doors would be a door dinging waiting to happen?

regardless, there's a reason why scissor/butterfly doors are on exotics - see above - and not on mass-produced vehicles.

also, calling them "lambo" doors is a bit of a misnomer.

thanks for reading.

Don't do it, I think you'll regret it. But if you REALLY want to do, who are we to stop you?

Don't know why its referred to as Rice. Big *** useless mufflers are Rice, but Lambo doors, I would probably categorize it under the Bean category.

Funny stuff. But as stated in the previous post, i am not doing it. Instead i am going to take over the counter pay cans and spray flames into the car instead.

Just completely kidding on that. when i am not so tired ill post some pics. still waiting on the Takeda intake, red-outs and i think that is it till they get those headers done. Oh an tint.
