Those lambo doors are wack, the color is okay but not for this car,i'm not feeling the wheels they're to big for the car....the car is riced out

On the bright side i love the turn signal mirrors.

If it didn't have lambo doors, and the wheels were brushed + color matched instead of chrome, I think it would look pretty hot actually.. and the trunk is a little over the top. I prefer stealthy utility installs that allow you to keep your space and still give you great sound.

I have seen it long time ago. Like it says;" DUB style " so it's not my style.

Holy smokes, I'm speechless, but not sure in a good or bad way. Are the lambo doors fully open and extended or not? Seems would be tough getting out of the car if that's full open. As for name, Crimson Feather, more like Burgandy Bomber.

I'm iffy on it, too "hood" for me.

Looks like it came out of "Pimp My Ride". They did a great job on the car with those lambo doors and fancy DUB rims, video screens in the trunk and all. Not my style and looks like it was built mainly as a show car for competitions and went out of the normal mods. Great for picture taking!

If they use better wheels, it won't look that bad afterall.

I second it a good show car. For that, you have to do some extreme stuff. For daily driving, a little over the top.

Lambo doors are not that easy to get in and out depending on the style you get. Some flip up fully while others are half way basically block your exit.

I'm not feeling the wheels, color, and interior(color), but everything else looks smooth. I personally think if it was black it would've did the trick... But then again it's different. Tv's in the trunk are for show purposes i believe.

In the show car world, yeah it kicks *** for the over the top award! If you driving around town everyday, it is just too much stuff on the car. However i do love the side mirrors (I got to get those), the tips, and the painted covers in the engine bay.

Default The outside mirrors

The Outside mirrors look real nice. I wonder how hard they were to modify to fit? The rest of it... not for me. I have not been 22 for sometime now.

Default Just my input...

Nice show car, plenty of "tricks" but very impractical. I like the color but not all the chrome. I don't like the wheels at all, but that's just my opinion. DUB style is more fitting for big trucks. I don't see DUB style working on ANY car in my opinion. I also have an ESV Escalade and I think oversized DUBS look great on it, on my LS it's a different story. In any case, I'd still enjoy looking at it because it makes me appreciate my car even more. I assume you're considering something similar with your LS? Good luck with your modding... keep us posted on what you do next.
