Default Lambo doors?

Garage is starting to get tight (5cars in a 4car does not mix very well ) and I thought of doing lambo doors on my Z06 so I can get into it easier when I'm parking it in the corner.


Can a corvette pull it off, or do they look stupid on it? (and please no *****-foooting circle-jerking it's your car, do as you please, blah blah)

Sorry but Lambo doors on anything other than a Lambo are just gay in my opinion. One of those mods that just screams cheezy ricer.

Sorry if this seems blunt but you said you wanted honest opinions.

Lambo doors have been copied so much some lambos dont even have them I think it is supper gay to install them on your car.

If you want a look at me lambo door buy a lambo

But for your situation think its time something went or is left outside

I like 'em in some cases (ie. Z06-Jim). The nice thing, is that in your case, you can get kits that go both ways ( much like the guys on this forum who use "gay" to indicate rice ) That way you have a regular opening door that swings up when you need it to.

I think the only thing that would work on these cars is Koenigsegg-style doors.

I'm just having fun. The Lambo doors were cool at one time but when you see them on Cavaliers and Kia's the cool factor is gone.
