4 door lambos?

I have an 02 lx 4 door do you guys think it would be stupid or look stupid to put lambo doors on the front only? Or can you put then on the rear to? I would think the front door would have to open for the rear to swing up and forward! anyway what are your guys opinions?

For sure lambo the front and suicide the rears. Once I get enough money thats what im doing!!! Or maybe even lamboing the front and suicide lambo the rear. So it lambos up and out towards the trunk! I think that would be pretty tight too.

I'm thinking its going to be physically harder because it would have to bolt on to the B pillar, and it wasn't designed to hold the entire weight of a verical door. Suicide would probably be better because that would mean attaching it to the back... Or you could reinforce the B pillar somehow.

I'd like it if it was done cleanly, but it is expensive.

Those aren't technically gullwings, sorry. Gullwing doors are hinged at the topmost part of the door, and literally open upwards. Lamborghini style doors are hinged at the frontmost edge of the door and open up forward. Those rear doors on that SUV are what's known as butterfly doors. They are hinged very similarly to Lambo/Scissor doors, except they don't just open up forwards, they open up outwards as well. Angled. Then there's the dihedral syncrohelix actuation doors that the Koenigsegg's have. They open similarly to a Lambo's doors, but instead of literally opening upwards because of the placement of the hinge, they act as if the door is on a ball-joint and merely pivot upon the center section of the door. Therefore the door does not open up AND forward, so the door does not sit any higher than the car. The door and the car stay even with eachother.

But, of course, all of these terms are thrown around so much in the automotive industry that it's fairly pointless anyway. Especially with the amount of ricers around, that use the wrong terms merely because they've been misinformed/don't care/are ignorant.

Just ask yourself if you would commit this kind of modification to your sedan, if the answer is yes then go for it. Be the first. People might like it, but if they don't then screw them. I bet you'd get more cookies than eggs thrown your way for it.
Personally, I'd love to see this lambo door Civic sedan. Just make sure the work is quality and it'll be worth it.

w0w! Thanks for posting that, I was going to say something along those lines, but all the info you put in that was great. Real gullwing doors on our cars are phsycotically hard. I spent about 3 months trying to come up with a design, but that project has basically been scrapped because of cost/benefit.

suicide on rears only. pop all 4 doors and it;d be neat and something new.

lambo doors on sedan arent that great looking imo. the door overall is pretty small and itd look arkward. compared to the actual lambo itself, the lambo doors are real long and sleek while the sedan looks just like a stubby arm when the doors are up
