Default GS with Lambo doors on AutoTrader

One of the more tastefully done ones I've seen but I still wouldn't buy it.

That kit is awful. It does not flow with the gs at all hes got a lot of money invested in mods but a lot of them just fall short.

Yeah, I agree they don't look good on a GS, but i've seen some on the SC's that look pretty nice. I think a 2 door with Lambos is ok, but not 4 doors.

several items on my car are off of ebay...shoot, I bought the damn car off of ebay for goodness sake. I think its more a matter of how he put it all together, which most of us seem to agree is short of classy. Oh well....

I guess I will jump into the frying pan on this one since my car has the two mods which are trashed in this thread. I'm always totally shocked by the hatred for lambo doors and now I guess the Vizage kit has been added to the list of uncool mods. There are a ton of beautiful GS's on this site I have even seen some that looked rather plain get rave reviews so I don't understand how a car that in will turn heads everywhere it goes is all of a sudden so appauling to everyone. Yes the lambo doors are appearing on every kit of car cheap or not and lots and lots of people have them but I have said it before and I will say it again what is so unique and classy about doors that open the same way that 99.9% of the cars ever built are made with? I just don't get it and when the doors are closed my GS appears the same as yours as far as the doors are concerned but when I open my doors people stop to look and ask questions and give praise on how beautiful and cool my car is. To most people our cars are like dream machines and they don't see anything like them unless they are at a show or watching something on TV or in a magazine that features them. I would never rip another owners vehicle because I know how much time and money they put into modding his/her car. Here is my car featuring both lambo doors and a Vizage kit and yes I have won at shows with it but even if not people love this car and so do I.
