Default Scissor Doors

Anyone know where you can purchase a kit for the fd to do this, and how hard it would be to fit? I don't expect it to be easy but finding a kit to begin with would be nice

I'm with Kin, up there with one of the worst mods to do to an FD right after Chrome wheels.

Cool It's a fucking door.

Whats the fucking point.

If you want people to point and laugh at you it would
be cheaper to just attach a rubber cock to a hat and wear that.

Seriously though they put scissor doors on LAMBO's only
because they are too fucking wide to open a normal door
that makes sense at least.

several times, and they look pretty small IMO, they are only worth $100,000 in Japan. Heres some stats from another site that show dimensions between the two vehicles.

Ford Focus

Quote:
Dimension (mm)

Overall length
4488

Overall width no mirrors
1840
Lambo Diablo

Quote:
Overall length : 4460 mm (175.6 in)
Overall width : 2040 mm (80.3 in)
Only 200mm out on width! Put that in ya pipe and smoke it!

Ummm... 20cm is a lot when you talk about the width of a car.

Then you need to consider the fact that the doors are REALLY long, and there is a very good reason for the silly doors on a Lambo like a Murcielago.


You may or may not know that the Lambo Gallardo doesn't have the silly doors. That's because it is actually quite a small car by comparison to the UBER models.


But my comments still stand... Scissor doors on anything that didn't come with them from the factory is a poofter mod. It is a waste of money, it lowers the value of your car considerably, and it makes you look like a complete wannabe.

There is nothing hard about getting in and out of the FD as it came from the factory, even for a fat basturd like myself.

yes but not everyone thinks of racing, theres something called style and look, which is what makes MODDING and creating your own rides persona, the best thing about it to begin with, its up to u to decide what u want and what u think is shit, on your own cars, majority of idiots around carparks and shit have all sorts of different things to catch the eyes of some ppl who generally are like minded..

aside that, if u think it looks good, go for it, if u dont care about the weight or the fuss of trying to open the door from the drivers side [passenger] for a lady whos weak as piss, or if ur gentlemen enuff to get ur ass outta ur own seat to open it for her... w0w factor or dumbass factor, you decide... after all bro..


ITS YOUR CAR!

theres my 2 cents
