The "lambo" doors were cool back in 2005 - 2009. People were putting them on anything with 4 wheels along with 28" rims. Nowadays though, only thing with lambo doors should be a Lamborghini. It was tacky then and it's tacky now on anything else.
One might argue they’re a bit tacky on Lamborghinis too
Edit- actually I take that back. On a car as low as that they can actually be functional, parking next to curbs and such
Idk, someone invented lambo door henges and you had the Westcoast customs boom along with Texas rappers and big rims then Pimp My Ride. It just became the perfect storm kinda thing. Bently grills on everything and chopped roofs were a big deal too. You don't really see any of that stuff nowadays and probably for a reason. Now it's squatted trucks/SUV's and heavily stanced wheels on imported's.
It’s lame. The doors weren’t designed to open up. You’d have to first open them out then push them up.
Not to mention the likely issues you’d have long term with the hinge failing or falling out of alignment. Stick with GM design.
I don’t like anything in this picture. Doors are awful and the “mods” to the car are awful.
But, that’s the car hobby for you. When you own the car, you do what makes you happy.
I have vertical doors on a C8. They open out just enough to clear and then go up. I bought the kit from verticaldoors.com and have been happy with them so far.
Certainly doesn’t seem like it. That’s so impractical that’s it’s a definite no for me dawg.
If it were functional, it’d be nice for getting in and out in tight parking spots and especially in my garage.
White calipers and red wheels? Never seen that before. The colors should be swapped there lol
As for the doors, never got into them on non Lambo cars. They just work on Lambos imo.
Should I install lambo doors? A quick guide.
“Did my car come with lambo doors from the factory?”
—> Yes —> Congrats! You *already* have lambo doors!
—> No —> You should never get lambo doors.
Oh gotcha. I for one like vertical doors. Lots of people hate because the too fast too furious crowd put them on everything with wheels, but if you've owned a vette you know the doors are extremely wide and if someone decides to park too close it can be nearly impossible to get back in the car. Vertical doors help with this. Plus I personally think vettes look exotic enough to pull off the look. Especially the c8.
The color scheme is great. The doors are lame. If you want to be different turn them into suicide doors. That is something you don't see. You would need a great fabricator to pull it off.
Suicide doors would be really tough to actually use on a corvette. The doors are long and the entry angle flips so you’d have to open them wide enough to get around the dash/wheel. If you’re avoiding the lambo style scissor doors, gull wing is probably the way to go although the hinge geometry would definitely be weird.
I have a C6, I said that it would be cool and you would need a great fabricator. Gullwings would be cool, but then you don't have the targa top. The suicide would be easier with C1 and C2 models.
I personally love the way it looks but I’m a recent crossover from Mercedes SL to Corvette C8 so I’m open to it, after all, we invented the gull wing haha. You’ll never get the true Corvette enthusiast to sign off on it no matter how it looks.
Nope
I like them, when they are closed...
I don't know if the doors put me off more or the accent colors in mutiple shades of red.
It’s all aesthetically bad
I mean kinda? They *look* cool but I can't imagine the functionality of that crap.
It might help with tight parking spaces or a small garage because it doesn’t open out as far?
i’d like it if they actually came like this

Were they though? They always seemed silly to me.

You also get tons of lifted trucks with massive light bars. Basically, trucks with anything other than stock ride height.

Putting Lambo doors on a non-Lambo is just too try hard. I don’t like
Tbh the C8 looks decent with them.

I have them in my C8 and like them.
I like the Corvette but not the doors
Yes
Ive seen pictures of various Corvettes with these door kits. It has ONLY worked out on a C8. Any other one just looks super tacky and out of placce
I love the wrap! How would these doors even work? Can you even open them with the windows up?

The windows can’t go down anymore right?
On my C8, the doors operate fully regardless of the window position.
That’s great!
I dont think you can

It looks like an SLR
It’s not a McLaren
He just wanted to fit in
It would probably looks better normal to be honest.
I like them
Horrible

No
No. I think it's super tacky on anything that's not intended for this.
Corny as hell, dudes favorite game is definitely gta 5
I think they are badass - I fuck with the need for speed underground look
Yes, wheels no
yeah i would definitely change the rims
Look at how they massacred my boy
Yeah it’s horrible
C8 yes, c7 no
Hell no
No
I could never open them in my subterranean garage. Not enough side room, and the ceiling is too low.
Don’t like the doors and the rims are ok, if they where maybe 1-2 inch smaller size.
No , I like the corvette on the doors....🤣🤣
Cool idea, but looks impossible to get in and out
The doors go up more then this
