IMHO. If you are happy with it, that's all that counts though.

The scissor doors rock! You can bet if it came from the factory everyone out there would agree.

doesnt it just amaze you the kind of response you might get from making a $3000 mod...

...if you like 'em cool...general public will prolly think their cool...

..but Ive not seen a general move toward extreme mods that rock the boat around here...such as tall spoilers and lambo doors...

...their interesting though...I give you that...

enjoy...

I'm glad you like them, but there's so many other mods I'd rather spend that $3K on.

Those were the kind of doors I was avoiding to put on my car. The angles are very tricky. The pictures are either taken from the front or from the back, never from the side. This is because most lambo door kits out there only are able to open up at about 45-50 degrees, leaving the person little room to enter. The first red car is what the blue and silver corvettes look from the side. the blue and silver corvettes are the lambo kits most often found. The burgundy car is mine. If you look closely, the blue and silver corvettes, you need to put your head down under the door to get in since the door opens across instead of up. You also have to enter from the back. Its very tricky, that’s why you don’t see lambo doors being displayed from side.
