Not before this, nah. As rice as lambo doors on a non-lambo are, that looks good to me. Keep in mind, my car's the same color.

I think the word "rice" is a bit over-used sometimes.

Just custom doors hinges.... they look nice like that. Props to him.

Not ricey at all...


If I remember right, you have to swing the door out a bit before it can go up though...

yea ive seen pics of that car before... i like "lambo" doors. i think those are technically "gull wing" doors, the ones that go out then up... lambo doors just go straight up no problem. and yea those rims are 5 zigens.. ive seen them on a bunch of 350z's... nice rims

Those ore definitely NOT gull wing doors. Gull wing doors hinge at the roof and swing up. That's why they were given that name when they appeared on the classic Mercedes. Same thing when they were on the DeLorean.

My friend's CL is Kandy orange. Not a factory color...really close though. I can see how you would confuse the two.

the picture looks fake. I think it's a photoshop of the doors. the reflection on the door is skewed and should be a straight line when the door is down. i don't know how else to explain it, but in my opinion, it's

it does look pretty doctored. There are no visable door hinges on the passenger door. And the reflection is off. i spent 5 minutes flipping the door back to stock. But i can figure out how to post the pic. oh well, i would like to see what the picture looked like it the original form. Or maybe that is the real car.

you can install those yourself, in about 3 hours..also, i think its looks bad on cars that have the edge going around the window...i think it looks better on cars whose windows dont have the edge..

Although that's a good point with the shadow and stuff, it can't be fake. Look at the paint and the way that everything refracts with the doors... I'm near positive that it's real.

Also, someone gave me negative rep points on my post saying "ur car iz an ugly color" cause I got a PDG CL-S. How great!
