lambo doors are beautiful, and it'll fit the GS perfectly, unless its the Ebay $300-400 kits, then don't even bother, it'll fit perfect for about a month or so then your doors will wouble side to side!! u get what u pay for!

lambo front doors don't look good on sedans any sedan. if you have a VIP style then go with suicide back doors like Phantom: that's pimp. if you must have lambo front doors than you must do something to the rears doors as well. the car looks funny with only two doors opening up and two opening normal. IMO

I agree, I'm a big fan of the Lambo Door look on coupes, as long as they're sports cars, not Civics or Camrys or something. They look funny on sedans though

I wanted to do the lambo door conversion to my GS for the longest time. But after about a month of consideration, I decided against it because the GS has 4 doors, and I think the car looks weird with only two door modded.

I am trying to fabricate a way to get my doors to open De Lorean Style, or maybe the front Lambo (or mclaren f1) style, then having the rear doors open in a reverse lambo style

Not my style, but it looks good on this GS that I posted a pic of a while back.

I wonder what it is like with one who has lambo doors getting pulled over by the cops? Cop requests that you step out of the vehicle..... Good luck.

It also helps that he has an immaculate paint job...
I agree with this. After seeing Automan's car in person, I changed my mind about it.
