people with lambo doors

this thought has crossed my mind, but im not 100% serious on doing this. I wanna hear all positive and negative feedback on this, the cost, and any hinge problems? i think it would be a cool little thing to have as a standout on a car. Im still 1/2 n 1/2 on what i think about the looks. some of the show car cl's i have seen on here at some angles look ok, and some angles it looks out of place.

Don't do it if it is your everyday driver. Trust me i only use the car a couple times a week and i can see it becoming annoying if i had to do it everyday.

i like that option but i can't seem to find who makes them for out cars and how much i am looking at. my only concern is that it might be hard for someone to get into the back seat of the car

You're looking at a kit of about $1200. If you do a search around here, you'll find them.

For the price I can think of about 1,000 other things I'd rather buy.

yeah for a grand i think i would something else
maybe s/c my car or body kit it, except the options for body kits aren't truly that great, i think our car are classy looking and the only one i would consider is the TL kit and i also like the ronjon rear end but it has to be flushed so it looks nicer. the TL kit front and sides look great i have to see how much of costum work needs to be done

I was also thinking about the doors. This is also my daily driver and I figure it would ease getting in and out, because I wouldn't have to worry about openning the door close to someone elses car. Perhaps the money is better spent elsewhere, but it would be a head turner. =)

I agree, I would think not having to worry about door dinging someone is a lot less of a hassle than just flipping your door up and stepping out... I'm sure you'd get used to it.

But I don't really see the cost benefit of doing a lambo door conversion though. Everyone I've asked usually says to me: "Lambo doors on an Acura? "

I think it's sick, and it's an awesome attention getter, but as for the attention that you really want... it's not really there.

S/c your car will cost way more then 1k prob around 5k. Id go with a kit before doin lambo doors. If you search there are some people with the Tl kit on the cl. PM them and see howmuch they paid.

some kits open up wide enough that you dont have to lift the door up everytime to get in/out.

true. if you get a good kit, the doors open like normal AND lambo.

some lambo kits are not very good though. you can see when the doors are up, there is not much room to get in and out.

i'm surprised nobody has done suicide or gull wing doors on a CL...

I like the sound of those priorities.

this reminds me of the other day, some ricer in a honda civic pulled up next to me. had a crappy body kit, the car was 5 different colors and he had a rice rocket for an exhaust. he lines up next to me and opens his door i was like cool lambo doors, it must have cost him a lot of money. he saw me looking and then he revd at me and pointed foreward. well i smoked his ass till 70 mph where he was about 10 cars back and of course he did the ricer fly by, and opened his door after he flew past me.
