I've seen a 3rd gen RX-7 with these but not an RX-8, didn't think it was possible because of the rear doors but there they are.

 

How do you open the back doors?? Looks sick though

 

wow, where do you park it? I guess most of us are far car parkers anyway, but this thing would have to be parked millions of miles away to have any chance of getting out of it, sure would suck to drive this around the holiday season where even the far away spots are taken due to Xmas shopping :D oh and what about parking garages? doh!!

 

That looks hot, but yeah how do you open up the back doors?

 

from the pic... if you look at the far side it looks like it may have clearance to open that rear door.

 

this is a repost
but a sweet car

 

dear god.. this needs to stop.. I hate these things..
that was a sick looking black 8 too.. if yer gonna do doors like this, do USEFUL doors, not ones you cant get in and out of..

do delorean style doors if anything.. those are actually useful.

 

I thinkas long as youre in good shape and under 6feet tall you could manage toget in and out of it. Bythe way those rims are delicious looking especially w/the fender strakes

 

I think that the doors look sick. And Delorean style doors are not practical because you can’t open them next to another car, like in a parking lot. So they are not really practical

 

That's the hottest 8 I've ever seen. I rarely think heavily modified cars look good, because they get the "Ricer" look which just isn't my style. But this... wow, it's hot, slick and classy looking. It really looks like an exotic.

 

I never park next to anyone anyway..

and i'm 6'2". I dont think i could get in and out of switchblade doors on this car unless they rolled up a full 90 degrees.

 

In response to how do you open....

Most vertical door assemblys open horizontal for an inch or two before going verticle, the same with closing. Therefore, the rear doors open just as they do with standard horizontal opening doors.

 

there was a marble 8 posted a couple weeks ago that had lambo doors. But this one looks hotter.

As far as getting in....I've seen this car in person, the doors are not up all the way in the picture....

 

I think this was some Swedish or Swiss dude's car ... I think he posted back in August or Sept about his doors. From what I remember, he said that the rear door open as normal and that it took 2 months to install (?).

 

Ok I did find the link. He's a dude from Switzerland. I guess I lied about it taking 2 month to do (that was probably somebody else). His English isn't the greatest but he did put up what he's got on his car. Seems like a nice guy. Here's the link

Sorry for the repost, I searched for switchblade and lambo and didn't see anything, but then with a thread title of Hello from Switzerland I would never have even looked in there for it. Thanks for that link BlueFrenzy, was able to check out his website from it.

 

I think you still can open the rear doors. I see a big enough space to swing the rear doors.

 

ANYONE know what rims those are ???

 

I have seen 90 degree doors for the 8. You wouldnt have any trouble getting out or opening rear doors with those.

 

That looks pretty sweet, but not for me. I have a hard enough time navigating these tired old bones in and out of my RX-8.

 

meh, save that mod for the civics......

 

haha nice kart racer... but yah the veilside show car has lambo doors and it looks sweet but inpracticle... would rather have shaved door handles that pop out.
that car does look sick just not digging the rims

 

The lambo doors actually look pretty good on the last generation celica, but they're not for an RX-8
