Super sweet door mods

[UndaCuva]

Has anyone put lambo doors on the vibe yet? i want to do it when i get back from an overseas business trip.

[BOZACK]

I was thinking about it. But then I looked at my wallet. LOL. It would be cool to see it on a Vibe. To really put it over the top, suicide the rear doors.

wow or do dual lambos or reverse lambos on the rears

[AKLGT]

i believe there is a matrix with lambo doors done in CA? i think i saw it on matrixowners.

i was thinking of dual lambo's, but the rear suicides sounds like a really good idea. i'll have to think about it. i am going overseas to make some tax free moolah for 4 months. Definitely throwing out (selling) all the stock audio equipment. i'm HUGE into custom sounds. Doors....not sure what the wife will let me do yet. i'll keep ya posted.

I don't like the lamborghini doors on anything other than a lamborghini. I don't know why. It's kind of like taking a Fiero frame and throwing on a Ferrari F40 body...Kind of disrespectful to the real thing. Plus the TWO steel hinges are normally over $1100!!!!!! If I had the blueprints for them I could whip them out on a bridgeport and have them heat treated for WAAAAAAAY less than that.

A couple of the Vibes at the 2005 SEMA show have lambo-doors Check out the coverage here

those doors do look cool, but I'd be smacking them on the carport roof when I opened them.

[Merzbow]

suicide would be fun to have...I think gullwing would look weird since the doors are so tall...maybe if you had the McLaren doors that open up and forward they might look descent.

Gullwing would be damn near impossible without reworking the doors and roof.. just too much weight and nothing to support it.

The pivot point is somewhere under there.I to would be smacking the roof of my garage. If everyone ELSE had lambo doors, it would benefit me - no more door dings. But until then, I'm still parking way out in the lot.

I think thw Lambo doors look good on most 2 door cars with frameless windows. Such as this Fiero GT..

I have seen them both personally. You'll be spending about $3k though!
