Lamboo door hinges? would you convert?

they look cool up and down but when you see it in a vid they look kind of cheap. like you open the door ( pulling outwards) about 12-18 inches and then it stop's (then tilt's up) and you then have to lift it til it stop's.

but when you look at the guys doing it they take like 5 mins to get out and anothere 5 to get in and that's the antired process. in to out not just openning it and closing here a vid check it out.vids get vertical!

I don't think they would be very practical or durable on a daily driven car. From what I have seen they are also really expensive for the better quality kits out there.

I've never seen them looking right on a sedan. Perhaps you should consider suicide rear doors instead, if you wanna go nutso with how your doors open. I know I am.....

No one's thought of THIS one eh....

This is EXTREME custom mods at it's best...

lambo doors in the front, and either shaved doors (and interior totally gutted for a **** ICE system, etc.), or, imagine this.................

<dun dun dun>........

van-style sliding doors. I think that'd be kinda neat.

Why not just suicide the rear doors and leave the fronts alone. I think that'd look sicker than lambo fronts and suicide rears. If you really had to have lambo doors, figure out a way to suicide and lambo the rears too. So that way it looks even.

Or how about....suide-lambo the rears? So they open from the rearward edge, AND open semi-vertically? That would be cool. Pain in the *** to get in and out of, but cool...

LOL, that's what I just said. Suicide the rear doors so the open backwards, then toss in a lambo hinge so the open upwards. It least it'll look even when you do it.
