On the other hand, if you think from another angle, this door design may be working for folks with tight garage space. Instead of door swing to hit the wall or another car, the door swing up for easier ingress/egress. As you know the parking space in Japan could be really tight.

Why the hate?

If those are like most Lambo kits that I have seen then you have to be a contortionist to get out of the car. To think he could have spent that money on coilovers or intake-exhaust and really done something to improve the car.

Sadly I had that exact thought as I was trying to fold out of the tiny opening between the wife's Mustang and the FRS today.

I agree it doesn't look bad with the frameless doors but definitely not my style.

It depends on how high the door can get. If it is high enough you do not need to bend too much.

Somehow for some reason it is very tight to park two cars/vans into my two cars garage. So my daily exercise trying to get in and out of the car is to open the door slowly, and get it touch a carpet hanging on the wall so that no scratch on the door frame. With about a feet (?) wide opening and trying to slip in and out of the vehicle. I guess with this scissor door pointing high enough but not too high to hit anything in the garage, I do not need to bend too much to get in and out of the car.

Just some life experiences..

So this will not pass the CHP code as the lowest point of the car frame is lower than the lowest point of the rim.....

To be honest, it sickens me more how everyone has filled this thread like an auditorium to criticize and crow at something someone else has decided to do to their car. Even if the mod is perverse and perhaps illogical, i just find this kind of mass-criticism putrid.

Herbert Henry Lehman once said, "I must respect the opinions of others, even if i disagree with them," and what i see here is disappointingly disrespectful.

I'm sorry, by the way, for being 'that guy.'

This 86 is a shop's demo car from the looks of it, so I have no qualms about shitting on it; it's no different than if they were to put 24" rims, neon lights and curb feelers on it. Lambo doors are played out, tacky, and unfashionable. It's not 2001 anymore; the Fast and the Furious craze is dead and buried. I wonder if they've got the latest Limp Bizkit CD loaded up in there, a glowing shift knob and some 15" subs ready to fill up the trunk

When I see American cars the equivalent of being Riced out, I term them as Oatmeal.


PS...I thru up a little in my mouth from seeing that on the 86. Why? Just Why?

My problem isn't the sides of the garage, its the car "on the right" which happens to be mine, and getting out between them. I suppose I could back in, but that is an issue because our garage opens in the back of the house with a minimal turnaround. No one gets out of the Mustang in the garage, unloading is done outside.

Here's the pic i was thinking of:

This is why the American automotive scene is nothing compared to the scene in Japan. We pigeon hole ourselves here. In Japan, ricers aren't pariahs. I'll admit I'm a little biased towards people that own cars with "ricer" mods because most of them are idiots. However, I'm proud to say I'm a ricer. A reformed ricer, but a ricer none the less. I'm not ashamed to say that back in the day I was one of those kids with a slammed Integra and a stupid loud exhaust.

I guess you could call it ironic, but it's nothing new.

People want what they can't have, and people want to stand out. Especially in Japan. Japan is a very conformist society, so a lot of young people rebel against that big time. There's actually a huge USDM crowd in Japan, just like we have the JDM crowd here. They build cars that mimick what people in the USA were building a few years ago. They do LHD swaps. They pull the Honda and Toyota badges off their cars and replace them with Acura and Scion. Weird, isn't it?

That's not bippu. Bippu, afaik, isn't even a word that's used in Japan lol. I'm pretty sure it's an American-ism applied to VIP style cars. That xB is rockin' some oni camber.

Actually, I agree with you. The "ricers" in the US think that they bolt on a body kit, fart can exhaust and some black steelies and they think they are ready to race anything that has come out of Japan or has RWD. The "ricers" over on the other side of the Pacific don't mod necessarily for performance, they do it for looks, which is why it makes more sense and is more accepted.

Also, I didn't look at the picture long enough--I had assumed originally that this was an american "ricers." Really should start paying more attention to the backgrounds of these pictures
