I think it looks good! Real good actually, not saying i would do it, but it looks nice! My friend did it on his BMW 850Csi, and on his Escalade, i think its a nice touch! And nothing is messed up everything aligns perfectly.

350Zs have had Lambo doors available since 2003 without window indexing problems.

There were ALOT of cars at SEMA with these doors. I'd go for it if I wasn't going to be driving the car alot. They might become a PITA to open and close alot.

I wouldn't do it because it looks silly.

Now, give me a Murcielago and I won't complain...

The doors don't open as wide that way and actually may save a few possible dings if someone tries to park to close. So it would probably be be easier than stock. But I think it may look wierd on the convertible.

The Lambo Doors won't mess up the indexing because they start to open like the regular door for a couple of inches and then starts to raise. Me personally I can't wait to put these on my car, but I'm also just a kid.

It does not look like this mod would make enter/exit any easier-- as a matter of fact, from this viewpoint, it looks like it'd be difficult to get past the doors.
Looks cool, however.

I personally think the Corvette could use additional weight, Lambo doors, maybe throw on some 20 inch spinners since I hear unsprung weight is really good for the car. For the money spent on that you could buy some performance mods that would actually do something for the car......

Not for me, but it would get attention at a car show.

Even though I think its completely unneccessary and ridiculous looking, you gotta love this country that we live in where a business like this exists to accommodate those that are into this. Amazing. Before I start singing God Bless America I should probably end this post.
