Judge for yourself...

jparnes1 · 03-06-2012, 06:07 PM

I'm diggiin' it

rfx45 · 03-06-2012, 06:56 PM

Can't say I hate it.

Now, can we get some Agera doors too?

Vintage · 03-06-2012, 07:53 PM

its actually pretty cool looking but I would feel like a total tool rolling up and opening those doors . . .

Dr Stig 2 · 03-06-2012, 09:55 PM

You would need to assess if they made entry any easier.
I find I need to open the doors quite wide to get my feet in.
This set up may make it an absolute bar-stard to get in and out when you hav big feet and shoes. (My size 13 flippers come to mind)

Torn · 03-07-2012, 12:07 AM

I dont know how I feel about those!

Voytek · 03-07-2012, 01:01 AM

Kinda offtopic but very nice Rimms on that car. Any idea what they are?

The_Hulk · 03-07-2012, 05:25 AM

I'm all for modifying but that looks ridiculous, i wouldn't have that on my car unless i already had it modified like the Rowen Z4.

Lambo doors should be installed at the end of a project not the start.
It's all about making a show and your not impressing anyone in a normal Z4 with lambo doors.

FAIL!

get the same feeling, a bit played out after all 10 year old civics got them

az34 · 03-07-2012, 03:45 PM

definitively not for me. It looks Mickey Mouse!

Nkc · 03-07-2012, 11:16 PM

actually looks pretty good to me. Wondering if it'll be easier to get in and out of the car since its so hard right now with these big ass doors and slim parking stalls in Hong kong. Probably gonna get in the habit of putting the top down and hopping in.

Z4@Phuket · 03-08-2012, 01:55 AM

Look in LSD site, there was no price yet, other model 1,200 euro, quite expensive.
If this system allows to do both conventional and vertical opening, it will be perfect.
Might be a good idea to use in big cities with tight parking spaces, Bangkok also included.

marcw · 03-10-2012, 03:12 AM

Price is 1,749 euros including VAT for people that are into this sorta thing.

tranquility · 03-10-2012, 12:04 PM

It's so tacky: these regular (rectangular-shaped) doors don't look good when opened in a way it was not intended.

Yeah anyone have a clue?

Jordanpryce · 03-11-2012, 09:55 AM

Personally I think it's stupid poser nonsense.

teagueAMX · 03-11-2012, 02:45 PM

Two things:

Doesn't look like they open enough to get in an out of the car OK.

I always wonder how these retrofit things hold up in a crash test. Let's face it, the guys that design these things aren't designing rockets or even real cars for a living. They are entrepreneurs that need to make a buck to support their companies, employees, etc. There's no way they can afford to do any kind of crash testing. What may look kol may be a death trap.

fre2bpowerless · 03-11-2012, 03:13 PM

At Euro 1750 + VAT + Shipping + Duty + Installation, I'd rather get my performance mods. I'll be happier with my car raping Lambos than posing as one.

FTW

Frank Costanza · 03-15-2012, 09:17 PM

Imagine pulling upfront to a golf course to off load your bags or something and getting out of the car like that. My goodness

I will agree that on a heavily modified car that would look good though, but as stated above. Do that mod last, not first.
