I don't really mind the look.. But yea thats a bit too gaudy in my opinion. I already have a hard time getting into my car at the stock height with doors fully open... cant imagine how much of a pain in the ass lambo doors would be since it looks like those doors cant possibly swing out of the way completely.

And yea, having to pull it out then swing it up is ridiculous.

Every time I see a picture of a car someone has abused this way, a mental movie runs in my head of jumping into the car with the doors open and hooning the shit out of it while the doors flop all around until they fly right off. That piece of garbage with the flip up trunk and horizontal rear doors would be a hoot to destroy that way. It would look like a flock of seagulls fighting over a dead fish.

Lambo doors got put on so many shitty cars with neon lights and plastic chrome accessories that any utility they provide is overridden by how people associate them with rice.

Plus most of the time they aren't really that good as far as reducing the space needed to open the door, and they add weight and complexity. You aren't gonna wanna lift a car door every time you get out, so there's gonna be a gas strut to assist.

Doors that stay closed when you crash the car are an important safety feature, so I'd be worried about replacing the hinge with a more complicated one with more failure points. This probably isn't an issue if you don't cheap out on parts.

Basically it's an expensive modification that most people don't think looks cool, adds weight, and adds complexity.

Correction if you have lambo doors you don't have a girlfriends
