Re: recomend doing this?
I think the look is outdated and kinda cheesy. Just my opinion though.

Like I mentioned, It's just my opinion. Maybe the majority still like the Lambo door kits but I'm over it.

Yeah, pricey and alot of work getting everything lined up correctly. But I guess if it's something you'd like to do then just do it. It's your car in the end and that's all that matters. Your car is an extension of yourself and should reflect your personality. Others may not agree with your choices or taste but that's why they have a car of they're own.

Definitely something that will draw attention.They would be putting that kit to the test with the weight of our doors.

Re: recomend doing this?
I always liked the "gullwing" doors, although on our cars that just wouldn't work. And i agree the Lambo doors are something you would see only on a lambo or a riced up honda. With that being said i vote you fab up something to do suicide doors, now that would be more unique and possibly easier.

Re: recomend doing this?
i wouldn't do it on our cars for 2 reasons: 1) just doesn't look right and 2) the doors are very heavy because, when they're closed, they complete the weak unibody bracing. The weight of the doors alone is a deterrent from modifying anything.
