what door sills do you have, I noticed they are black, just curious.

wheels look great, but they are Volks, so of course they look good.

Check the white-balance setting of your camera

If the rims didn't have the polished lip, they'd be very cool.

Looks good man, good start so far...

How much you pay for the lambo doors? what door kit? and any significant welding / modding to get them to work?

These are the prototype bolt-on hinges from GT Factory. I got a super deal on these for being their test vehicle but the hinge will only require a bit of cutting for the hinge to clear but that's the same with all the vertical door kits. No welding is required when you use this kit. What's nice too is that the hood still opens fully while the doors are open. This kit will be sold for $1600 US and you can contact these guys at www.gtfactory.jp

I love the looks of the lambo doors. It would make it much easier to get to the back seats when you're in a tight parking space.

I've had to back out of parking spaces first before I could open both the driver and rear door for people to get in. This would solve that problem. And it look so cool.

I would just park farther away, much cheaper solution

Sweet!

Great looking car...no joke. Would those rims and tires fit without rolling the fenders? Any rubbing or hitting anywhere? I'm trying to decide whether to go with an 18" rim, or a 19", and the tire sizes that would fit without body mods. Thanks!
