Lambo style doors

I've seen lambo doors on Civics, Eclipses, Accords, Maximas, just to name a few. They seem to be pretty good, but you gotta becafeful when you open the doors because over time it will scrape and chip paint from the sills....thats what I saw on a Civic hatch w/ lambo doors.

Let me begin by saying that I think Lambo doors is one of the silliest mods on the planet. But if that's what floats your boat and you have the dough, then go right ahead and do it.



.....But why would you want to do it on a 4-door car of all things?

I think the labo door fad is pretty played out now.

Clutch, i would just do it on the front doors, and bout having the dough...my bday is coming up and i wanna get something for the car but i am really out of ideas. I wanted to get the Tein coilovers with the EDFC, but my parents say that the extra harshness in the ride will create vibration in the engine bay and wear out the parts much faster. I was also thinking about getting some larger rims, but i am in high school and that'd be just asking to get my car vandalized. So my question at this point is...WHAT SHOULD MY NEXT MOD BE?

my opinion is that a tsx is more on the classy side of a ride.

have you done the following things?

intake
headers
exaust
swaybar
springs
tints
rims - and if you get 18 inch non-chrome non-tacky ones then i think itll look phat
subs
hondadata heeatshield gasket

im a senior in high school from NYC and my car has never been touched. as you get older kids will appreciate things done to a car.
my opinion is lambo doors look ghey on a non 2 do car but thats just by dos cents.

Do suicide doors. That'd be pretty different.

I am not doing headers because its too much money for something that gets you very little gain. The amount you can tint in MA makes it not worth a tint job. I have considered rear sway. That is about it tho...


Just so you can see my list of mods so far....

You've got a pretty good mod list. I'd say wheels+tires and swaybar should be your next mod.

alright, glad u guys talked me out of the lambo doors, i think i'm gonna do this over the next 6-months to a year...
1) Rear Sway
2) Rims and tires
3) Aluminum pedals (from www.ultimatepedals.com )
4) Suspension

no specific order for the first 3, but i'm pretty sure suspension will be last...
does this seem like a good plan? is there anything i'm missing?
