Lambo doors are cheap(in comparison to what they used to be and in comparison to what it would be to have real lambo doors lol ) but honestly my opinion is lambo doors do nothing really anymore (hondas killed the awe of lambo doors) get a nice *** set of 20's and your g2g and until at least the end of the year the car itself will give the OMG WTF IS THAT LOOK w/o any mods :-)

I personally would be leary of dealer installed 20s. They seem to really inflate the price - so that they make money off the wheels as well. 4Gs for a set of 20s is steep - they had better be Forged aluminum for that price.

As for the lambo doors - I think they are one of those mods that you don't get your money back for when you sell the car. They seem to depreciate the value of the car - and you automatically limit interest in your car.

I don't think you do modifications like this if you are concerned about warranty.

From what I've seen - these mods usually require you to modify the fenders or fender liners.

Depends on the size of the tires, width of the rim, offset etc.

245/30-20 is the recommendation for the 02-07 altima. I would imagine it would be the same for the new coupe. Go to http://www.tirerack.com to confirm the recommended tire size.
