Where did you get them and for how much?

NICE FIND CHAD!!! notice the Arizona plates... that looks like every mothrluvin Honda here in Phoenix. Ask me about my HATE for hondas?

There was a decked out 4 door 4x4 Hemi Ram in Florida that had suicide rear doors and lambo front doors. It looked okay cause it had EVERYTHING else done to it. On most cars lambo doors make as much since as a 4x4 low rider.....

Dude! That pic is from the Chevron Station at Scottsdale Rd. & Shea! I used to live catty corner to that intersection when I first moved out to AZ... I used to see the guy in the yellow Lambo all the time! He'd wind it up on the street behind my house almost everyday... I've never seen the silver Honda before, but I recognize that gas station any day... I used to order chinese from the little place in the background...

Small world!

NOT HOT! I agree with most of you. These doors do not belong on this - or any stock - ride.

But why must so many people bring up the "usefullness" (or lack thereof) of these doors? Must everything in life be "useful" and functional? Why get into the whole form-versus-function criticisms? Each of us has, wears, lives in or does something every single day that is more about form than function. If we were all the minimalists that those comments would suggest, then we'd each be driving around in either a Ford Focus, Chevy Malibu or Toyota Prius instead of the kick-a** G's we grip. Heck, you probably didn't even pick your wife or girlfriend based solely on "function". So what's wrong with a little flare for flares sake?

If you're gonna be all "function" minded, then don't even bother washing your car or shining your tires either. Those things serve absolutely no "purpose".

Cost about a grand for lambo doors. Rather put that grand twards something else. Lambo doors...Not for me.

If you like them, then go for it. My issue is this...

The G35 coupe doors are extremely heavy. I can see those gas shocks going out very quickly.

I also saw a 5th gen Maxima on Sunday night at the movie theater. It was painted baby blue (looked like a 1 or 2 stage paint job ) with lambo doors.

3 or 4 ghetto black women stepped out. I think it also had a hood scoop.

I live in MoVal. 90% of the African-Americans are ghetto. They were transplanted here from LA. A few by choice, but mostly by their parole officers.

This is not a blanket/racist statement. It's very true. I'm extremely anti prejudice, but when you walk the walk, talk the talk, and all but flip me off when I open a door for you, you're ghetto!!!

My wife and I are trying to figure out where to live now. She just got layed off and I'm ready for something new. So we're probably going to stay in SoCal, but move west.

I guess you didn't see the joke there. Kinda like: "How do you know if a lawyer is lying? His mouth is moving." I usually give everyone the benefit of the doubt right until the precise moment when their yap swings open and removes all doubt of their ignorance. What's even more deplorable is how some folks are not only unashamed of such, but actually glorify it.

Yeah, it's amazing what houses are going for around here too. 30-50% less than a 18 months ago. Oh, and it was 90 here over the weekend. It's about 72 today. And but the job market sucks here.

The job market doesn't suck IMO. It's just evolving into something most people can't deal with. There are tons of opportunities, and TONS of people doing things poorly that need to be improved.

I'm seeing a lot of traditional positions being done away with. Places that need a staff of 5 are trying to do it with 3, but there are still more jobs available.

AZ is a really nice state, but the weather isn't really my style. Excessive heat, cold, and humidity just don't do it for me. Our weather here (inland) wasn't great this weekend either. Sunday registered at 99 on the G's thermometer.

I still have them in the box. I have gone to 10 different body shops asking and 4 have said the ones i bought won't fit on the g35 because the fenders come to far out. lol i went to east coast customs and i asked how much it would be and they told me 2 grand for install and doors. i said well i already have the doors. and they said oh well probably around 4 grand. So i'm tryin to sell them and either get the one's specially made for the g35 or just getting some mods

I value my membership to these forums... therefore I'll just replace what I was really going to say with a "No, lambo doors are not nice"

Thank you for your time...
