Maybe as a final touch to a phat car like Henry's, but not to a stock sc430. Not for me personally either.

Not my cup of tea at all BUT since it's done on a frameless door, at least it looks hell of a lot better than in other cars

Looks ok to me and I normally do not care for them too much. First thing that comes to my mind though is the rewiring for the door as I do not think OEM wires would make that reach.

i kind of like it to be honest with you, especially on an sc with wide wheels, wide body kinda kit. Phat ..... do you know who's car this is (if its a member that is). can i know where he got his kit from?

you gotta be kidding me mike. if i put that on that would be downhill for my car

not to disrespect anyone, but this will never ever happen to my car for any reason, even if they are for free. it just doesn't do anything to me, i think they look horrible. they only belong to lambo imho.

plus not to mention about all the fitment problem. so far i ahve yet to see a lambo door setup (let alone it's the 10 bucks setup on civic or the "high-end" setup on the sl55) that fits perfect, everything operates flawlessly, and absolutely not water leak with the exact same level of insulation as stock setup.

and anther "dangerous" thing imho is there is no window frame for the sc430. that pose another big big challenge to get this right. do you guys noticed how the windows somehow slide / go lower a bit when you open and close the door?

I have to agree, it may or may not look good to you, but what matters to me most is quality. Even the more expensive lambo kits costing 2g's with machined hinges and stuff still have to be customized for the sc and your always going to be running into problems. Especially with fitment or a pump blowing or the hinge not being secure so the door feels wobbly. Unless I saw a perfect job and felt the sturdiness in person I dont think I would do it. I would much rather shave my door handles before doing lambo's for reliability since atleast I know I can buy expensive door poping motors and springs so the doors dont get stuck or gears break.

Actually on the right car it may look OK, but I haven't decided which car(other than Lambo) it looks good on.








May be on the MB SLS or SL500?
