BRZ and Lambo Doors

[G-Man]

hmmmm.... never thought of lambo doors as rice, always thought it was too expensive for a kit to be considered that. but that was back in the day when i looked at them they were ~$1200? overly flashy, yes. but far from most cheap shit i consider rice

Additionally, you have to cut into your fender to weld these to the unibody. There are much better ways to spend a couple grand.

this is more what i was looking for, thanks!

If this was the case, why are the vast majority of them on cheap imports?

I never see them, maybe that is part of my bias. I guess all the pictures I see tend to be on finished cars, this is my view.

There are several cars with lambo doors in the ricer search.

Here are about 500 civics with them.

I also consider basically all the nicer cars in the "lambo door" search riced out. It pretty easy to get a loan in todays world

[G-Man]

but my point is they are all finished cars. very, very flashy, but not thrown together over a day with some duct tape, unpainted bumpers, falling apart etc. Maybe my definition of ricer is different than most. just because its a modded civic doesn't make it a ricer *to me*.

Maybe, and I definitely agree that everyone can do whatever they want to their car. But a vast majority of people, including myself :facepalm: when they see them.

Money doesn't equal taste.

[G-Man]

I agree. I doubt i would daily drive something like that. but I would be lying if I said I didnt like seeing well done imports at shows. sadly 99.9% of them I see on the street are utter trash. most people with the amount of money it takes to do it right just buy a higher class car.

Note the wobble when the door is up. It honestly looks cheap in real life. That's just with him climbing in and out of the truck. The Scion wobbles just opening it. And this is in their official advertising videos, so they're willing to let this quality speak for their entire company.

On the other hand....

This is strong and secure. Even with a blown strut. Don't do a vertical door kit.

I have no interest in lambo doors but Aston Martin doors would be awesome. They open up just enough to clear curbs when your riding low.

i feel like the term rice can only be used on shitty addons that doesn't seem to suit the car. lambo doors dont suit civics therefore its rice , i understand.
but here lambo doors on the frs doesn't seem to bad so im not gonna consider it rice.
In the end it all goes towards a persons opinion of what they think is nice or not.
to the OP do it if you like it, it doesn't seem to bad and minus door dings, fuckin hate dings.

Was the OP trollin'? He never replied, wonder if he just got embarrassed.

Just in case you're still reading OP, NO! Lambo doors suck! It's not 2001 anymore, Fast and the Furious is over!
