Thoughts on '08 E class with lambo doors?

What are your thought on a 08 E class with lambo doors? Just the front? Does it look classy or tacky? What about suicide doors in the back?

No to both. You MIGHT get away with "Lambo" doors on an SL without it looking too tacky but on a sedan it definitely would be VERY tacky...but that is my opinion.

As far as suicide doors...I just don't think it would be good look...but it is your money and you can do what you want with your car. If you do decide to go with either one, you better find a really good installer because it is really easy to hack up the job. You might as well pay a bit extra to get the job done right.

A CL55 in my neck of the woods has Lambo doors and it looks ok but the fitment (pretty significant gaps) was not to my liking.

After you put on the Lambo doors, be sure to get your teeth done, too.

ya i think only the SL might pull it off, but that's it. it might look nice on a c6 vette, but nothing else comes to mind currently.

I say do it only if you are going to do suicide doors in the back, do it right the first time, don't half-*** it, and remember to take lots of pics. TC

OMG, PLEASE no.

Lambo doors aren't hot to me period, unless on a Lambo or the rare exceptions, aside from adding TONS of weight and modifying to the factory installed doors, it will look foolish on a classy/stately Sedan, at least if one were to be set on doing them, I'd recommend on a Sporty Coupe.

lambo doors are "teh sux" .. its the reason I never wanted a SLR. It just screams "look at me, look at me" [i.e. my d**k is so small ... look at me to help my ego make up for it]
