Paint job or Lambo doors?

I'm needing everyones opinions. I'm wanting to either get a custom paint job, or do the custom lambo doors. I've always wanting the doors to open that way, but I've also wanted a paint job for a while now. Just wanting to hear everyones opinions.

I say since your ride is already sweet and you have sick wheels and kit and you have a black theme going on I say lambo doors and you would be the first.

where I live I see a lot of custom paint jobs but no one really gets the lambo doors, I say go with that, makes your car stand out amongst the rest, not to mention everyone will look at you get outta the car with the cool doors.

I never find paint jobs that impressing. A factory finish that shines like a diamond impresses me more than aftermarket paint jobs.

Anyhow, I'd do the doors. I mean paint would be cool but it still be just a civic with a new paint job.

Doors hands down.

Dude, nothing is more breathtaking than seeing a Civic with lambo doors. Custom paint is a lot more common. You'd get many cool points for the lambo doors

right now, i'd do anything for doors, but i can't find something to do that will make me mad money. i want to save up, and get my doors done without telling anybody, then just let them find out the easy way. anyways. if anybody knows any shops in the 626-909 area that do them, let me know.

Your ride looks hot. Don't ruin it with lambo doors. And whats wrong with the paint you have now? Why not save the money and do something worth while like a motor swap!

Cali, I am totally with you! I hate door dings. Tomorrow I'm going to talk to a guy who can do it for me. He knows me, and has done a lot of work on the other cars in my car club, so hopefully he'll give me a GOOD price.
