BrianxB 11-08-2004, 04:13 PM you definetly live up to the "ricer" in your user name. :) Lambo doors are usually regarded as "played out" by many but its your car...
uncompiled 11-08-2004, 04:13 PM Gullwing doors? I think the gullwing doors would look kinda cool, but you wouldn't be able to get out of tight parking spots anymore.
Maybe I'm just too low-key, but I don't think those types of modifications should ever be made to an xB... lambo doors on a tC... I can see that, but when you have 4 doors, it's just... too weird.

You mean gullwing doors like on a "Delorean" they were first done in the 1950's on the Mercedes 300SL....They would like kinda odd I think on the XB IMO
TheScionicMan 11-08-2004, 05:20 PM I doubt the roofline would support it.
Stu_Gotti 11-08-2004, 07:25 PM I was going through the same thoughts yesterday at MIR... I am debating on lambo or suicide doors for the tC... I think lambo would be the best lookin.
unik_one 11-08-2004, 09:23 PM mebbe so, Stu, but the suicide doors would be da ish. Besides, w/ Lambos your Samurai would lose his katana!
TOAST3R 11-08-2004, 09:27 PM i was thinking of lambo doors once, but what if you ever roll over and need to get out, yur screwed if it landed on the roof
Stu_Gotti 11-08-2004, 10:56 PM Yeah that would suck crack!

My friend had done lambos (think he is selling the kit. he traded in his box and put it back to stock)
just imagine you get stopped by a cop and he tries to pull you out of the car...(for those that don't know the doors only open about 10-12 inches. it's a real pain in the a$$)
gulls would be interesting, reinforceing to roof would be a requirement.
Big_hungry 11-09-2004, 12:36 AM lambo doors would be alright. i know several people with them. THey aren't that bad. it's all about personal preferance. If you have teh kit then do it.
stickler64 11-09-2004, 01:05 AM I vote for rear suicides
Max2k 11-09-2004, 03:30 AM One vote for rear suicides. They're just classier.
The gullwing/lambo ones are a safety hazard and a pain in the ___ when parking.
Don't shave the door handles either. I heard about someone (friend of a friend of a friend, you know how it goes) whose truck flipped over and caught fire. Nobody could get him out of the car because the handles were shaved and the electrical system was fried, so he laid there unconscious while his friends watched him burn to death.
hotbox05 11-09-2004, 04:22 AM yep rear suicides and leave the fronts stock. thats what i'll do one day if i ever get to keep my box

Couldn't you just kick in a window? They've still got inside door handles usually?
hotbox05 11-09-2004, 06:27 AM i could see that happening but yeah breakin a window would fix that

Just took my idea. I guess people panic and don't think sometimes of the easy solution. To be honest if you car is flipped upside down i doubt your door is goign to open if you have lambo, suicide, or stock doors.
the_saint 11-09-2004, 03:13 PM I'd like to see some kind of "dutch door" for the rear. Something like some Astro's and (I think) Excursions have. Something where the upper half of the lift gate opens upward and the lower portion is split in the middle and opens like regular doors. Or something like Blazers have where the upper half goes up and the lower part goes down.

how many of the people have lambo doors on the xB???
thats what i am talking about.
i've got a friend with lambos on a 350z. the door opens (like normal) about 2 feet. enough to get in and out comfortably.
the xB lambo's only open about 10-12 inches, not enough for me....
i am talking from experience, getting in and out of the xB with lambos is a pain. best done on a show only car...
other cars are better suited for lambos, not the xB

I do. I agree they don't open that far but the point of lambo doors isn't to get into the car like a regular door. when the door is verticle it is pretty easy to get in. Just different then most are use to. Given I can fit into my car with the door only open 12 inch but I make myself skinny :)
Max2k 11-09-2004, 09:38 PM The guy that was burned to death was unconscious in the car, I guess they didn't think of breaking the window.
the_saint 11-09-2004, 09:52 PM ^^^That sucks :shock:
superjeer 11-10-2004, 12:14 AM I had dutch doors in my safari and they were nice and handy. I'd LOVE to put them in the xB. It'd be real work though.

Why didnt they bust the window and use the inside latch?
