While watching that video, I kept waiting for clowns to start jumping out. Seriously, it looks like something out of the circus. Why anyone would do something like this to their car is beyond me.

LOL I love how the doors rotate! Not to mention it seems like every hinge on that car was made to open in weird ways.

Lambo doors are pretty much only acceptable on Lambos or extremely modified cars that already have other eye popping features. Wouldn't flow right with a basic vehicle.

Thoughts on suicide rear doors on a TL? A friend of mine said I should consider doing it only on the rear and moving the door handle on the other end (where it would open respectively opposite of the hinge).

...seems like a lot of work. I guess I'd get the Rolls Royce effect which might be nice. But I think the TL is designed pretty good regarding the doors.

pretty sure that reduces the safety of a side impact collision

right?

The video of the Accord is a car from the Middle East......yeah they always want to try what hasn't been done, lol. It's not really about good taste, it's more about showing off and having WAY too much money.

Go to cardomain.com theres a black TL on 22s wit lambo doors nd a blue TL on 22s wit matchin color rims wit lambo doors. They both seem to have diff kits tho. the 1 on the black tl looks better imo.

Did you think you could sneak this into any random thread without me noticing? I'll be the civil one and I won't paste the PM you sent me asking my opinion of the lambo doors. (I can't wait for the day we meet and get the chance to do this in person)

HAHAHA, ok then, I won't post the pm's you send me either.....you know the ones begging me to help you paint your car AM....
maybe if you painted your car AM your bumpers would match? Is that why you wanna do it?

Anyways, here is what you should do, get in that sorry excuse for a tl and drive it to the CT meet this Sunday....your car will make it to CT right? If so you have plenty of time to make it...no excuses, you can add your name to the meet list https://acurazine.com/forums/acurazine-clubs-meets-15/central-ct-meet-april-5th-2009-gillette-castle-state-park-709345/

oh and another thing....you have no idea about the random threads I post stuff about you in hahahaha, you started this just remember that!

It doesn't look that bad, actually. I think what kills it the most is the ride height. That guy is running 22" wheels!

I'm off to go stalk CarrieLynn...

I think the answer to this guy's question should be in the FAQs.

Q: Should I put lambo doors on my TL

A: HELL NO

I think if you wanna do a lambo vertical door, I'll choose a coupe TL like above picture....

It's just really weird that you have vertical door and while the rear doors are plain normal...

i did mine a year ago....got a kit from a friend of mine who sells them as a tester/fitter and i used the accord kit with a lil mod...after the mod was made....i took them off n gave them back to be sent out n mass produced....ANYWAY.....I took em off a week later.....its not for the TL...it doesnt suit it. Plus you have people who wanna throw ur door open n get in and slam the door......it just doesnt fly like that u have to educate all the idiots before hand... im not patient enough....if its a show car and it doesnt move except 2 times a year for shows then id say go for it...otherwise leave it alone.
i had the full 90degree ones that went over the fender and tilted slightly outwards.... i dont think id do it unless the car was a 2 door or 2 door convertible.

DO IT!

How you like me now, 3g?

And for a question i saw farther up, lamborghini gallardos dont come with vertical doors. The murcielago does although it's like $180,000 more.

Seriously if you use your car for shows, do it. If you would smile everytme you walked up to your lambo doored car. DO IT. If you wanna pull up and have people flock to your car everywhere you go. Do It. Just dont let an internet forum, tell you what to do to YOUR CAR. no offence to anyone, just my $.02 (canadian)

if i had lambo doors i would have to find another place to hang my bikes in the garage. that would make me sad.

that said, that chop of the blue TL 2 door and the red convertible are amazing.
