OP-if you really want to do them, you should. Don't be discouraged by some of the comments here. Just be sure to go with a quality set and installer. I myself wouldn't do them on a daily driver but on a vette that's meant to be shown, but again, you should do with your car what you think will bring you the most enjoyment. I did them on my C5 as you can see (couple of posts above) and never had a problem with them. I won many trophies with that car and got a chit load of compliments including on the doors exclusively. It may not be a lambo, but it could be your lambo. Its actually pretty silly to think that chevy has never taken an idea or concept from another manufacturer and applied it to our precious vette's. I see no reason why you cant/shouldnt do the same.

And yes, I'm aware of the Aventador's doors, in case someone sarcastically points that out.

Thought about it at one time. Decided to put the money under the hood instead.

Most of the time, these cars are built with Corvette/GM LS series engines....
The wheels too, apparently.
