Default Lambo Doors on your C8?

Be honest will your C8 be the first to have Lambo Doors?

I know it will be done in month 1 I am just wondering who it will be

I'd love them! I wish the C8 had some "exotic" opening doors. I asked Tadge directly at the NCM Birthday Bash. He's not a fan of anything but traditionally open doors.

The only car they belong on thats currently being made is the Aventador. I've seen a kit on a Huracan and it was retarded. If Lambo doors look ricer on a Lambo, what do you think they'll look like on a Vette?

This will not be tolerated on CF. Put on the flame suit, and don't park around anything.

I am sure some corvette owner will do this. There are a lot of corvette owners that do some horrendous modifications to their cars and I am not sure why.

If you put a lambo door kit on a C8, you might as well just buy a Lambo... LoL.

Youtuber Streetspeeed717 put lambo doors on his C7 years ago and it messed up the car pretty bad. So those that want to do it be carful!

I'd rather see a McLaren F1 style door if they were to get fancy. I don't think the shape would work quite right in either case though.

The Koenigsegg door is also cooler than a lambo door.

I used to import and customize exotic cars at an unnamed place in NYC and I think “stupid doors” are my biggest automotive pet peeve. There is a reason doors are almost always like a conventional car. They work the best. I think I’ve bruised myself on vertical doors at least 20 times. Hate those things with a passion.
Even worse are the tools that need to take pictures of their car with the doors open. Please make it stop! Lol

If cool *** exotic doors came stock, sure but absolutely no aftermarket kit should be installed.

Having said that I think the best exotic door award goes to Koenigsegg and the dihedral synchro-helix actuation system. The damn name is even "exotic" haha

Lambo doors look so dated now.

With that glass engine cover, I fear the onslaught of engine dressing kits that will be available.

It'll be done by a YouTuber wearing his baseball cap backwards screaming "What's up!" to start the video.
