Well we have a Bently dealer about a block from that particular auto store. We see a lot of Bently's driving around. We also get a fair share of lambo's too. Ferrari's are not quite as popular but I see a few each summer. I raced a modded Ferrari against my motorcycle. Man that thing had a nice exhaust. However, a Ferrari is really slow compared to my bike.
What color is your sc430? Did you say your car gets mistaken for a G35 or some type of infinity that no one has seen before?

to lambo doors 
Yeah, everyone wants to remain PC and say the "to each, their own" line, but not before getting a quick jab in and throwing in a snide remark.
I'm not sure why it is that the more expensive a car is, the more reluctant people are to modify it.
Upgrading the size of the wheels, putting on a body kit, and installing an exhaust system is as far as most people will go.
Shoot, remember the member who put that ugly GT spoiler on his SC? What was he thinking!?!
Haha, j/k, that was me! 
Anyways, if it were practical and affordable to produce a hardtop convertible conversion kit, we'd see Hondas and Nissans sporting them just like they sport the lambo doors.

camaracer, I think you may be on to something. I used to think the same way about modding an expensive car. That was when I didn't have one.
I've seen so many bad mods done to expensive cars. The mods that make the original car (stock) look better. I think a lot of it may come down to making good decisions about what to modify.
We've all seen ford rangers with ground effects that just looks wrong, right? On the other hand there is a ford ranger that someone modified and it looks great that had you scratching your head, saying I never thought that truck could look cool, but this one does.
I got the same thing before I put chrome wheels on my sc430. People were saying it will be getto or too flashy. After it's done, people really like the way it looks. I guess it's tough to imagine a mod for people if they haven't seen it many times before.
I'm sure that there was a time when people thought lowering a car was only for low riders and not for a 70K car. Who, in thier right mind, would ruin the good looks of a 70K car. You'd ruin the factory suspension that cost so much in the first place. I remember those times. I remember thinking that. I still have issues with lowering a car and all the problems it can cause for beauty.
Now that I've done so many mod's to my motorcycle, I can't imagine leaving something stock. It's all about tasteful choices though. On that I agree with all of you. No one want's something that looks like, well, an add on. Any mod should integrate into the car like it was supposed to come with it from the beginning.

The point I'm trying to make is that though some mods are not for everyone, they're for individualizing your own ride and making you feel good every time you hop in and take a ride.
Put those Lambo-doors on and enjoy yourself. Who cares what others think, anyhow?

I remember when you were thinking about the spoiler and a bunch of us freaked out then, just like people are reacting to these Lambo-doors.... I thought you were nuts then but now I really like what you've done with your car.... and got used to seeing the spoiler in your avatar.

The picture of the orange sc is a good example of how poor choices in modding can end up.
The car above retains none of the curves that make the sc look elegant yet strong at the same time.
It looks like an 8 year olds plan for modding his hot wheels car.
The purple car in the background looks like its part of an action seen in Twister.
