tC is neither. 2 for neither!

Neither. Suicide would not look right on this car and lambos are horrible IMO. Plus, they sag, and sag, and sag... and rattle, and leak, then sag some more... did I mention sag?

Shaved handles would be the best thing if you are set on a door mod. The tC has a really nice clean line to it that the shaved handles would compliment very well.

Do I get to choose you committing suicide for considering either of these options?

shave the handles. I haven't seen a tC with it yet, though i'm sure some people have it done. Your paint job is amazing though.

sorry it doesnt look better but I only spent about two minutes on it. i personally wouldn't do anything with the doors, I would concentrate on other areas.

suicide doors are doors that open horizontally (like stock) but instead of hinging at the front of the door and the back of the door swinging away from the car, they are hinged at the back of the door and the front of the door swings away. "suicide" because you can open your door and jump into the opposing traffic literally. they are a really cool mod on old four doors for the back doors. the 60's lincoln continentals came with them like that (the car in the matrix).
