I've been toying with the idea of "Lambo" doors....but I think that would be to "rice". I saw a Honda Civic with them and I just shook my head.

there was a thread here recently that asked if you like or dislike the "Lambo" doors and i would say about 90 percent of the members were not at all in favor of them, just thought i'd say that if you were actually thinking of doing that! after all, it is your car, and your choice, don't let others dictate the way you mod your car!!

Amen. I just wonder if it would help when I try to get out in a parking lot. The doors swing really wide on a Monte and I pray a wind doesn't catch it one day. Haha.

I think they would make it harder to get out in the parking lot. With regular doors, if the spot is tight, you can just open them a little and squeeze out. With gull wing doors you cant just open them a little and climb out or you would be rolling around on the ground. Lambo doors would make it easier to get in and out but they never line up right and IMO look rediculus.

you can do a suicide to the monty carlo you would have to make custim wireing for the speacers and every thing in the doors and make custime hinges as well. it is hard to find some one willing to do it for our heavy as>>>>ll doors but will look cool for a off set monty carlo. it will make it a one of a kind and you will have braggin rights

Bragging rights are always nice.

I want a sunroof on my Monte. I found an assembly on Ebay and I've been wondering if it would work.

Bah, I have so much I want to do to this car.

Don't know what I want first though and don't have the money to do it all.:p

But I can dream..

Haha. I love that guy. It's true though. I did think of this today though and it's fairly cheap. I want to replace the Monte Carlo letters in the back of my 06 with the classic cursive font and I'd like to figure out how to get the Knight Crest on the front. Don't know why they did away with that.
