Just as unique as the car in the picture you posted or the three I've seen just here in podunk CNY.

Adds weight too. They went to great lengths to make the Z lighter.

Dude what does my bank account have anything to do with this thread? First of all, you don't have any idea what you're talking about and furthermore I don't give two ****s about a lamborghini or its doors.

You're on the losing side of the argument bro... it looks like **** and doesn't make sense. It most certainly isn't unique, in fact, you'll have more in common with the Honda owners!

I really just can't see it on a 'vette. It's expensive, it adds weight, and it's not "cool". I guess I can understand one that can open either out or up for when some asshat parks right next to you.

That said, I'm not going to just **** on your thread. I've seen some ok kits on that auction site, but I haven't seen anything specifically for the 'vettes.

sure is a lot of money and time for a mod that does nothing to improve the performance of the car and can only be used for the few seconds you are getting out of the car to go in the house or the grocery store. I would spend the money on performance parts or maybe a good used Honda civic to destroy.

it will be nice because it will easier to get in and out of the car (I am 6'9) and also like you stated, if some ahole parks to close it wont be an issue

While I think this is a very "poseurish" mod, at the end of the day it's your car and you can do what you want with it.

But I think this picture sums up the mod perfectly:

Honestly Lambo doors belong on Lambos. Yes, I would buy Murcielago if I had the money because they are freakin' awesome. And I would like the doors because they are on a Lamborghini! It's a distinguishing feature of the car. It is your car to do with as already stated, but I can guarantee that way more people will think you are a tool than not. That said, I mod my car for my taste. Good luck though if you decide to do it.

I think it looks like crap, adds weight, and is FAR from unique. It seems that opinion is shared by many on CF.
