Well, in the US, they the whole lambo doors thing is a bit old, and not exactly exciting anymore. Its also more suited for coupes, rather then 4 door sedans. But im sure there are lots of people out there that might really like it.

Edit: Just saw the pic... do you notice any air leaks now? esp at highways speeds?

thank you GRAND LS for the fast reply

it's true i am agreede with you that limbo-doors is not sutble for 4 doors it's more better on 2 doors.

but i just post it to give an idia for people was thinking to do it.

so i will be happy if i will see more feed back about the doors.

I like the Lambo doors on a Lambo. On other cars, to me it isn't a sufficient opening to allow easy entry exit without some practise. Not a big deal for the owner...I've seen enough passengers smack themselves on the door getting in-out.

Saw an Accord with them and the "healthy" driver had to squeeze himself between the opening to get in.

what about trying suicide doors for the rear instead? lambo doesnt fit luxury well, but suicide doors would be killer.

Nah In that photo shoppe those Lambo-doors make the LS look like azz. Maybe someone has real life pictures of this being done? Either way the outcome doesn't look good.

i think that to make the car stand out while still having a personal touch you should completely suicide the rear doors, leaving hte ftonr alone, and moving the door handle closer to the frnt of the car for the RR look.

dude... i dunno about that. it just screams "i have money to burn - come jack my car". I personally like lambo doors but I'd rather see it on an SC than an LS/GS/IS/GX/LX, etc...

It was moved by another mod because of the Lambo door idea being related to DUB style. I'm moving it back to where it originally was since you're looking for opinions on doing this mod.

Hey save your money. How about changing out those ugly amber strip tail light for the clear strip ones from ebay. I see they are now down to about $175. They all seem to be the same brand type.
