i had lambo hinges on my eclipse, and i would NEVER EVER do that again! so impractical and not worth it. People who dont know about the hinges try to open them up like norma (open it too hard) could break the hinges. When i have to Valet the car, i get so nervous. When i get the car serviced i got nervous. Its just not cool on cars not meant to have that style door.

Its the way the door opens... how can opening up equal gay? If opening up is played out then what does that mean for opening out/? Does it = the super gay?

If you like the look of the way the door's opens or will be more convenient for you then go for it. Do not let people influence you with their own personal agenda's.

Dude you if like it do it if you really want too. It is your money and your taste. I don't think they look bad on the z, but be prepared to deal with all the negs with lambo doors.
One of the worse ideals i seen someone do on this forum is too spray paint their interior black.

As MySunset said, it is more than likely a fad. I know when I put my 7in lcd screen in my cubby hole 5 years ago, I was always watching movies. Now I barely turn on the dvd player on unless I am going on a long trip and I have a passagner and they want to watch an movie.

They are not very practical at all. It is a HUGE PITA to get in and out of them everyday......I speak from past experience.

Never been a fan of Lambo imitation doors. Even when the integrity of the door sealing properly is maintained.

But - as long as I don't come home and find my car all lambo'd out, I'll be just fine.
