yeah, $300,000 doesn't get you much of a car nowadays. You'd be lucky to get a spare with it

Have you guys ever tried to get in an out of a car with the Lambo door mod? Nearly impossible! The bottom corner of the door is placed right where your head would normally be so you have to avoid brain damage every time you exit the car. They should call them LIMBO doors.

i agree - its not rice - its lambo - euro style - i dont like it because the doors must first swing out about 3 inches and then be pushed upward. on a regular lambo they go strait up and look better because of that - aftermarket lambo doors or vertical doors stick out too far before going upwards. with that in mind i bet they look alot better in person and i know most people that get into that car are not expecting their doors to be vertical. get alot of "oohs" and "aahhs" from the girlies but your stock wiring harness must be chopped for this mod.

lol, i know exactly what you mean.. you kind of have to just lose all balance and fall into the car.

i do like the looks of these doors alot of the tC though. I definately wouldn't call it rice.

if I pulled up to a gas station (or somewhere) and put these doors up i'm almost positive that I'd get compliments just because it's so different.

have you guys seen the way the Mclaren SLR or the Enzo opens up? I believe they use 2 hinges, on on the side, and one higher up on the A-pillar. I think that can be better for support and opening, as well as not have too much sagging

SLR opens at the rear view mirrors, one and only to use that type of hinge system, i read an article about it, very crazy design and very very strong hinges

I think it looks pretty hot. If you got an extra 1000 bucks laying around go for it.
And as for some people calling it RICE. Please, just cause you can't afford it does not make it rice. Rice is those LED tipped exhausts u find at autozone. Or those type-r stickers you find on civic DX's.

there is a company that makes lambo doors that go straight up. they even go up to 130 degrees. with those there is no problem getting in and out of the car. also they offer a remote door opener that you dont even have to touch the doors to open them. now that is cool and no where near rice.
www.autoloc.com

its not called "lambo doors" instead they called it an"upright door system" its pretty sweet. i would get it. and starting prices are at $899 which isnt that bad for the door kit. (also has a limited lifetime warranty). i woundnt consider that rice..,


also rice is all about peoples opinion. its all a bunch of bull s***. anyone that says rice this rice that its really annoying and immature.

so mature that they are always quick to point the finger and say "RICE!"? come on. i admit it large and rediculous spoilers and annoying mufflers are stupid and can be considered "rice" but that lexus to some people could be considered to be really nice. although its not everyones favorite car it doesnt mean its "rice"

not that it matters or anything but like i said earlier rice is all about peoples opinion.

and i still think its bull
