Hi and welcome.

Lambo doors are for Lambos only, IMO.

My defintion of rice is a cheap buy to make your car look better, lambo doors take much more work and much more money when compared to something such as a exhaust pipe or l.e.d's IMO.

I don't think they are rice at all. Rice is stickers, 6inch pipes, bookshelf spoliers and purple tint (i.e. cheap crap).

With the amount of money you'll spend on it, I'd say go with whatever you feel like. I want to suicide my rear doors on my car, and on some cars that looks like ass. See if you can find anyone else who has done it with the same type of car as you and see if you like the finished product or not. If you do, go for it regardless of what the rest of us think.

PS - I like the lambo doors, always have, but yeah not every car will look good with it

PSPS - That probe is sick, but whatever they've done with the hood looks stupid - I know its for show and all but everything else about that car is completely :drool: :bigpimp:

lambo doors in my opinion looks dope on some show cars.
if your thinking of doing one just to make your daily driver look doper, not worth it.

Most of the kits I've seen for conversion allow the door to operate as normal and pivot up. So as a daily driver it would still be functional, and then for show it could be flipped up.

As for "rice" I dont think "rice" is so much what you put onto it, but how you are doing it... I mean if you have lambo doors and use them everywhere you go like a boob or (and I mean no offence to anyone) if you have some rusty old four door honda and have all kinds of bolt on crap on it... that to me is rice. Then again some things like lambo doors CAN look good if it goes with the whole package.

Just my 2 cents...

:rofl: I think it would be 'that'd look even more dope' or something like that. But seriously if you've got the body mods and engine bay to justify this 'show car' mod, they can look f@#%ing awesome! I'm contemplating doing that sometime down the road.

im not sure about the autoloc kit. but i know for sure the decah kit does not allow you to open the door regular anymore. it must go up. so i guess you`d be rice all the time.

:thumbsdow So any interior work is rice?? As is stereo?? :rolleyes:

Lambo doors look really good. Obviously they are going to be on a show car. I don't think someone with a 87 corolla all rusted out will spend the time/money on lamborghini doors.

Maybe screamer16 is on to something. If they put them on SUVs then maybe we wouldn't get soo many dings from soccer moms who don't know how to park.

yah ok bud.. if you understood anything you would know that they arnt called "lambo doors". they are called vertical door kits... and putting a hummer grill on a ferrari...im not even gonna go there... y dont you take that hummer grill and put it in your Volvo...because thats almost as much sence as you are making.

The shape of the car has everything to do with it.

10-21-2004, 11:14 PM
Just my 2 cents but the door length to the body length is the main factor to make it look like it belongs on a car (short car short door looks good/long car short door looks like shit) don't forget lambo doors were made for a reason if the door opened up normaly at over 4 feet long you would need to double park not to ding the car next to you, so space was the reason. But there was a company a while back it started with a b they made a few lambo kock offs but if you parked it side by side there was a major size diff in length on the labo being longer and the other having a higher roof. like i said my 2 cent (p.s. driver civic hb and its in the plans because i find it pimpin)

Team_Mclaren
10-22-2004, 12:40 AM
even car companies steal ideas from other companies... does that mean they have to put a different badge on their car?

Like someone mentioned above.. it really depends on the car... that rsx is HOT! while a "VDK" on a humma is just:barf:

So does that make rims, new paint and body kits "rice"? :rolleyes:

civicrider
10-22-2004, 08:48 PM
rims and kits can make your car faster, differnt rims are lighter, body kits are more aerodynamic, and paint is just there to protect your car. anyway instead of buying verticals id do suiside looks way better.

iceburns288
10-22-2004, 09:06 PM
I would make SLR-Enzo style doors, not as complicated as Koenigsegg's but still kick. It would probably look gay on any other car though, but the shape of the Enzo doors match perfectly with the car when they are open. It's also much easier to get in because the interior is so small that the doors get out of the way better.

If you have an H2 buy em cuz you won't be able to park anywhere AND open your doors at the same time.:dunno:

if the doors are low and long, and it's a 2 door car, it's good for show. so i guess that makes it rice. 4 doors with regular rears, please no.

Lambo doors are nice, on the right car. But they are rice, they area a lot of show at a heavy price for it. The look adds a lot of style on the right car though

schurchill39
11-05-2004, 02:46 PM
I think if the person puts time an effort into their car this mod can make it look nicer, but if its just some one slapping some lambo doors on pretty much stock car, thats just retarded. Theres only one car in town (Medicine Hat) with lambos and I think becuase his car is done up it jsut adds style. Even if it his a Honda civic

its both because if a car is did right then the lambo doors will look hott (imo) but if lambo doors are on some ugly car then its just gonna make them look horrible. it all depends on your taste

I agree with this guys quote...definitely RICE!

It's like those altezza taillights (thanks Lexus), Z3 fenders for any car..(thanks BMW), the headlight rings (again BMW), M3 Mirrors for the Honda/Acura (BMW again!!).

I see a trend here...regular cars trying to have luxury car touches?

Soooo ... upgrading the "looks" of your car is rice? Granted straight thieving another vehicles look is a little "wack" (as the kids USED to say) ... but come on? Upgraded headlights or taillights? Why is that so bad? Why wouldn't you want to get many of the looks and/or convenience of a luxury auto for 10s of thousands less than buying a luxury car? Of course you can take things to far .... like a 3" or more exhaust on a n/a car, but that is true in all things. Lambo car doors can easily look good and be put on a show level car.

Personally I prefer having only minor mods done to a vehicle. At the same time I can appreciate when someone puts a lot of work into an automobile and has done something nice with it. Lambo doors are not for everyone or everycar but a LOT of cars can look okay with em. If it's worth the price is another question lol.

autospeed
12-19-2004, 10:25 PM
depends on the car and its a personal pref. rice to me is anything along the lines of a fart can loud exhaust. ghetto mods like cut shifters, as well as altezzas. Basically cheap mods that don't do anything, look stupid or annoy other people or any combination of the three. To me a fd3s wouldn't look bad with a door kit like that because its a long fairly low and very sleek car. However these things on civic hatch's, coupes, sedans, miata's well anything thats pretty much a normal car, hell no. Depends totally on the car. But that eclipse previously shown did pull it off.

Rice: A part or modification that has absolutly no function but to look good.

While your putting lambo doors on why dont you gold plate your tires. Waste of money. If your rich go for it, but im sure the 3,000 could be spent on say...hmm... something that makes you go faster?

Technically, don't these doors have a function...they swing up instead of out, so it's easier to get out of your car if you're in a tight space...right?

I'm thinking of getting a kit to put on a CRX which I'll probably be getting. But this is only because the driver side door is rusted to hell and I don't know where to find regular CRX doors. Anyone know where?

Also are those lambo doors capable of opening outwards like a regular door?

LilDrunkenSmurf
04-21-2006, 11:04 AM
I've heard they can do both depending on how you set them... maybe it depends on the kit? I personally love them on show cars... and it wouldn't be a bad mod if it could act as a regular door at the same time...

ive heard that most of the lambo door kits actually open normal, and you physically have to lift the door (shock assisted) to make it go upwars. This true?


And in my opinion, rice.

All the ones i have been in, you open the door normally to the first stop from which you could squeeze out, and then you push up. Still, just like Altezzas, buy the car not just a Canadian Tire mod.

That eclipse looked sweet with the vert. doors and I think that if you got four doors suicide rear doors look sweet, like a rolls. And as for the taking other cars styles, it's basically unavoidable because the only reason you're going to buy something is cause you saw a pic of it on someone else's car and liked it.
