Well I know I'll probably get bashed on for this but what the hell. I like the doors on the orange one. Looks nicely done the other ones seem to ehh. Depending on the color of the car and mods as in maybe rims etc they might look alright.

One way to put that girl of Lambo doors! Find that picture of the guy that rolled his Lamborghini that burst into flames! Occupants couldn't get out because the doors were trapped shut & they cooked to death.

Adding even more weight to an already heavy car via Lambo doors = fail. Either buy a Murcielago or put the money elsewhere.

Yeah, I remember reading about that a while back... (note, NSFW, graphic pics) http://ultimatecarforum.com/smf/index.php?topic=777.0

But yeah, lambo doors would ruin the car; headers, or wheels and suspension would definitely be money better spent.

As a person who has actually rode in a car with lambo doors (Don't flame me! It was not mine, it was a friend's!) I would like to point out that they make it a pain in the *** to climb in and out of the car. If they opened like a true vertical door the top front corner of the door would hit the top of the front fender. For that reason lambo doors must swing outwards like and conventional door first and then go up. This makes is difficult to close them as you have to slam the door shut with only about 6 inches of swing. Factory lambos are designed with provisions for this in mind so they do not have this problem. I would also like to point out that lambo doors serve as an obstruction to entering and leaving the car as they don't move completely out of the way like a conventional door. Take a good look at the pic of the blue car and pay attention to the right side of the doorway towards the windshield, see what I'm talking about?



Your friend is in for a pain in the *** time with this car, especially if it is a daily driver.

BTW regarding the flipped over lambo trapped in car indecent, it should be noted that the possibility the same outcome exists with gullwing doors. Scary and food for thought for those of you pitching gullwing doors.

Surprisingly it looked better in my head. But even then it looked terrible.

Why the **** would someone want to spend money to make their doors open at an awkward angle? That looks like ****. They open fine like they are. Now you will have to have a hydraulic strut added to the door to fight the force of gravity as well as the force required to open the door. Hope the strut never fails while your getting out of the door. CRUNCH.

Retarded as ****. Why not just cut a hole in the roof and climb out of that.
