If you are stock or close to, then no. If you have a really flashy body kit and big rims, I think it goes with that style. Not my style, but if I was going for flash, they would add a lot of flash...

On a G, it is stupid and Ghetto... however Dihedral cross actuation doors are amazing on a Koenigsegg! I get the pleasure of seeing a new Koenigsegg CCX in my office building on a regular basis... Lambo doors are one thing, but the Koenigsegg doors are a tribute to engineering!If you have a super car then it's okay, but in a G, it's deplorable!

YES, even worse on a domestic!!! especially stangs! Equally bad are the clear rear lights and double decker spoilers!

Would you really want something that 1/3 of the ricers out there have? Plus it looks gay as hell.

Lambos only pull it off because they serve no real purpose and make no sense. You know aside from going stupid fast and showing off to the ladies

In a practical thought, they might reduce door dings, but I agree they are ghetto.

Super low cars will hit the curb when you open the doors. That is the purpose.

I said Lambo's serve no purpose, not the door style

Actually they were originally put onto the Countach because the car was so wide you couldn't open them outwards in parking spaces. This is the same reason why Lambo continues to use them, not to clear curbs.

Ricers use them because they think it looks cool. Don't forget most aftermarket scissor/ Lambo style doors first open slightly outward, thus they do have the chance of hitting a curb.

Whats wrong with showing off for the ladies

Anyhow just personal preference. I just think they look cool and have only a couple cars other than a lambos with them on and they made that car look really cool

LOL nothings wrong with that, I get in trouble a lot from the G/F for "attracting attention."

I guess I'm a bit glazed over about them. I've seen a lot of civics with them and just associate them with all the "cool kids"

I got them because i saw a m3 with some and it looked really good. so i looked into it and it actually makes the value of the car more.
