heres an idea: since the d17 is like...the worst motor honda has ever made? maybe you should think about dropping that couple grand on a k-series swap instead of lambo doors (its no longer the 90's)

not rippin on you or your project or anything. but someday when your tranny blows up and you're stuck on the side of the road with your doors pointing up, you'll probably wish you had listened to my advice.

@99 yea ever since I was 16 I've wanted the lambo doors but from what I've heard and common sense says they're a waste of money and impractical. and I def. don't wanna spend hours trying to line up my doors... still planning on shaving the handles. I think it'll look clean with a straight body line without being interrupted by a handle... just my opinion.

@shandles not gonna swap. don't have the time or money. I do agree the d17 isn't the best but I'm not gonna be racing or nothing so... and I always say, I'd rather drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.

Welcome. I dig the HDR photography. Good that you have plans, but I've gotta steer you away from the lambo doors. Even lambos don't have them anymore. Use that money for other stuff.

More pics, plz.

@wellfed yea the more I think about it I have to agree about the lambo kits. I think I'll be content with the shaved handles. definitely don't wanna be too rice. I'm planning on taking some more HDRs of the car this week.
