Nismo Badging on a Nismo Conversion?

Waiz

You sir get it, alot of people on this forum don't

To me at the end of the day as long as the person isn't adding a bunch of riced out LED's and Lambo doors then I'm all for whatever mod they decide for thier car

Oh... Lambo doors ain't cool anymore? They make it much easier for me to get in and out of the car...
So at the next meet you'll hate 2 things about my car, the headlights and the doors

You know, I don't really mind these. I don't have them personally, but they do look neat.

I think around here they just try really really hard to not be in with the ricer crowd.

Sort of like Emo kids. They are so non-conformist, that they conform to the non-conformist.

If ricers do it, they hate it by default.

HAHA, I had scissor doors on my Honda Civic once, super riced out.

I didn't keep it on for even a day because the aftermarket one couldn't replicate the way a Lambo door should open as it wasn't designed to clear the roof line or the windshield. Plus it required cable harness extensions, etc. So I took it off and restored it back to its default style. It would have been super cool and not hideous IMO. I don't think only Lambo should be the only car that's allowed to have scissor doors just b/c they pioneered/marketed first. Successful Car manufacturers constantly steal ideas that work and are cool to implement on any car models all the time. I'm sure we all thought the boomerang headlights/tail lights were exclusive to only the 370z. Similar to Audi's LED headlights.

Is it flashy? Hell yes. But isn't the idea of a sports car in general? No matter how blacked out it is, cops and thieves are drawn to it and can spot one out from a mile away.

But I'm not a big fan of those people who just slap any kind of chrome fake scoops or random emblems all over their cars. That's just whack and stupid.

Lol, honestly, if they're a good or well made kit, I don't mind, especially with such long doors. It makes it much easier to get in and out...
But since it's SOOOOOO associated with ricers and the Civic ricers (I don't mind the Civic) I don't do it...

EDIT:
Like scruffy just said!!! LOL!!!

Maybe there'll be less stupid door dings from ignorant people that loves to kick/swing their doors open. But it requires so much arm strength to close the door - which is prolly why most car manf. don't wanna adopt this scissor door idea.

Off topic, but they don't do it because because it's a safety issue
Going back in time... After the Mercedes 300SL gull wing and before the DeLorean there was a gull wing car called the Bricklin SV-1 (Safety Vehicle 1)
Wonder why it died (it looks crappy, but that's to today's standards, besides the point)?
The media said what if the car rolls over? Your "safe" car is now a coffin.
It's for the same reason they don't do scissor or Lambo doors on mainstream cars!
