Suicide Doors

Thanks to Gravana, we now have Lambo doors available.

But has anyone put their photo-chop skillz to the test to give us an image of a couple suicide doors on this car?

Who's willing to try?! I'd love to see it!

Me, too. Did see a picture a month or so ago, prolly on their site, but couldn't really see much...it was more an "intuition" of how they would look, given the low rez and angle. (If it was even their product, dunno, don't remember, but I think the price of what I saw was set at 2 grand...)

Suicide doors and a suicide trunk (see post today on main forum)! That's the ticket!

There is something about the Kappa that screams suicide doors, isn't there? Lambos are starting to get too common...though I do like them out here because we have few parking garages and it might make getting in and out of the car much easeir.

Anywho, the passenger opened his door while they were going about 30 MPH .... I guess to show everyone how stupid he was. Yes he had Lambos and 90% of the time I see Lambo doors on cars in AL, GA, and the panhandle of FL they are on POCs. JMHO You could not pay me to put them on my GXP, but suicide doors I would consider. However, I am going to make all performance upgrades before I even think about any major cosmetic ones.

More like POS's, if you know what I mean.

And it seems like the hinge kits for suicide doors are pretty inexpensive. And simple. Nothing like the hydraulics necessary for a gull wing or a lambo.

So, no takers on a creative itnerpretation of the Solstice with a suicide, eh?

Yep, that is the image "burned" in my brain when someone says "I am putting Lambos on my ______" I think there are many better ways to make your Sol "Unique." JMO
