Tires VS lambo doors

Ok im debating getting lambo doors or my 19" tires. Only thing i need to know is im getting a full paint job on the car should i install the doors before getting the paint job or it does not change anything. im going with weld on lambo doors was told there more solid. Tire are still a search car will go Glossy black. so if anyone has other nice tires to offer me im up for it if there not too expensive.

Me: "Nope."
Him: "Good. I saw one with them the other day. Looks terrible."
Just a tip.

Id go with lambo doors, looks good in my opinion. I bought my car wrecked and had it painted after I finished with all the parts on it and it looks amazing.

Do whatever you want to your car, it's your car. If you like something, do it.

But if you come here and ask if you should get lambo doors or 19 inch rims.... well, that's like asking if you should sleep with your sister or your mom first, both choices are shitty.

All of my tires have been black. Some of them have been glossy. But no Lambos. For the love.

are you serious? This is like asking, "do I do bodywork before or after the paintjob"?

Of course you do the doors first, especially with the weld ons as you might wind up needing body work to get them to fit right. I don't know why you'd go that route since as far as fitment goes they're the absolute worst option but whatever, it's your car, ruin it however you like.

I guess you can't save them all...

I have to ask though... Why go with Lambo doors when the RX-8s front doors are short anyway... The 8 isnt particularly wide, either... That's the "engineering reasoning" for vertical doors- so you can open them in a parking lot. On an RX-8 its going to look as useful as a roof scoop...

Just sayin'____

doors before paint. Find a good installer and body shop to fix the meltdown.

Why stop at 19's? if you're going big and chrome, go big and chrome.

19inch rims are fine. But no chrome please. The R3's come with 19's. That plus a nice drop fills out the wheel wells really nice.


And for the love of anything that is good in this world. Don't do lambo doors. Your making the Rex look rice.

But since ur not going to listen to anything i or anyone else just said about them.. do the work before the paint.
