I like the way it looks
teamprototype.com is huge in customizing

The only thing that stops me is so many cars in the car scene have this already done

lol i was thinking... i park my car in my garage at home and its actually really pact... i think i would have an easier time getting out with lambo doors... cuz you cant always park EXACTLY to the right so theres room for the driver to come out.... but actually writing this brings up another question... since the design is for you to pull out then push up... do you HAVE to pull out a certain amount or can you just do that a tad then pull out... cuz what if you're in a tigh situationa nd cant pull all the way out before you push the lambo doors up? do i make sense to yallz? also what happend to that guy who bought it for show and didnt want them and was supposively selling them....

I dont think I would park so close to another car that I couldnt slide the door out, it has to slide I would guess 3-5 inches if you are that close to something, then it doesnt make a difference what doors you got you are not getting out. :p

From: AL/GA...you pick
they are a PITA to get out of...and there is a "glide" mechanism that once you start to open the door and push out the door follows a path on the hinge that projects the door out and up...the angle of "out and up" is determined by each car make...clearances for front fender, A pillar, etc have to be taken into consideration...but because they DONT BELONG on the 8, or any other car except a Lambo...they will not go up a perfect 90deg so you kind of have to "duck" under them to get in and out...adds mega points on show cars..but totally impractical for daily use...

I like the idéa, but I would never ruin the cool suicide-door concept of this car with lambostyle doors. Plus,,, it really sucks when you enter a parking garage and can´t get out of your car because of the cealing. =)

since todays topic of the day is Lambo doors on the RX-8 i must say it AGAIN..

who needs lambo doors when you have freestyle doors!!!!!!!!

STOP THE INSANITY.. like mikeb said.. every1 in the "scene" has it.. get orignal.. make the rx8 a hatch.. or even worse.. get that stupid flip flop trunk crap idea..

ok done with venting.. please procede talkin about lambo doors.

I would love to see once installed if you are happy with them. I want them also but I need to see or hear from someone with an 8 and not from a vendor who is just trying to sell anything.
