I just thought I would pass that on to everyone, and or people in the southeast. Im thinking of doing it.

i'm curious, what kind of money have you invested in your car and and with it what have you done? i'm a man of "form follows function" but i guess if you have the drive to do it, go for it. but make sure you do it right, it'd be nice to see a lude with some automatically actuated doors that go up, not some half *** job that you'll end up with huge biceps because of. don't forget to post pics if you have it done..but personally i'd say drop that 1500 toward some engine components or a nice tein suspension setup.. all dependent of what you've already got done to the car.

Okay, I'll bite. While I respect originality (cough, yah, cough) I cannot fathom why you'd ever want to put lambo "style" doors on, cough, a honda. But, rather than knock you on the abhorent lack of utility; have you thought about the repercutions of your modification; i.e. side impact rigidity, changes to the chassis (overall), etc. What you're proposing to do is NOT only a waste of money, but could potentially cost you your life or lead to severe injury should you ever meet, rudely, with momentum on your flank, you follow?

No it doesn't, not by him, all it takes is a big check.

Great, look like a Lambo without the performance. I guess if it gets you friends... but that's just me...

ok well first, lets not forget they are still lude doors, it has nothing to do with a lambo that I CONSIDERED these/ I am yet to see or here of a lude with one and the q comes up quite often, It would be great in show, and im sure if there were any defects, nirvana(the guys shop name) wouldnt have a book full of his work hes done on doors and wide body kits on ludes and custom moldings that blew my mind........ Oh yeah and I was having my skunk 2 exhaust put on in the same shop when the guy that paints came up to me and showed me a body kit and some cars he just did the other day.


One more thing I did afterall say consider(partly to see what you guys would think, and now I know) But its all good I figured I would get critisized on this board oh well.

Although you will get a lot of flame for Lambo doors... Ive never seen any on a Lude so think it would be cool... def. a show stopper... Personally, I would make sure my car <U>IS</U> fast <U>BEFORE</U> I make it look fast... So, put the money in the engine... Then doors later... My 2sense...
