Looks ok but not the best... I think it goes best with 2 door cars.

OK guys. I just wanted to head this off before it gets worse. There is no need to bring up the "R" word as it can be seen as derogatory by some. If someone has more info on the kit for BlkGS3, then pass it on to him. If you want to help talk him out of it, please be civil.

Personally, I am in the talk you out of it camp. It can be interesting as an eyecatcher and for shows but I personally do not need that kind of attention. I would only consider it on a 2-door. I saw a setup similar to this on a vette the other day and I have to say i like it. On a 4-door sedan? I'd rather spend my mod $ on other things.

As with everything else, it is your mod $ to spend so do it if it makes you happy.

Take a long time to consider whether or not you really want this.

Then take some more time to consider it.

Then don't do it.

I dont like this mod at all. I just dont see how it adds anything to the look of the car, especially a 4 door car.

Anyone know what that kit is called? I think if you did the rear in reverse it could look really good. I agree that lambo doors on sedans are ricey but those don't look like lambos to me... those look... good!

Try posting this in the 1st gen GS forum and see if you can locate who the member is...that would be your best way of tracking which kit this is....there are SO many different companies making these kits these days...

Judging by the hinge and the way it works I think its this:
(funny they have a toyota chaser on the site)

It's tight cause it lets you open and close the doors normally and you can lift them up, theres even a video.
