Cool Buterfly doors on a 90 GTU like a Diablo

Hey what would you guys say if you saw a guy go to his '7 and his doors opened up like a lamborghini diablo or countach? Would it be pimp, player, or gay? I would like to do a poll but I don't know how. could someone tell me?

there's a scissor door kit out of australia that does this for all 3 generations of rx7s.

They also have a wide bodykit as part of the package that definitly gives it more of a ferrari look.

I do not like the headlights so much, but overall I think that body looks pretty sweet. What do you think that adds to the weight of the car?

R.E. Amemiya used to do the conversions in Japan.
Go find a Lambroghini dealer...
Pay $10,000 for the hinges and latches...
Install...

You could do it yourself if you designed the hinges and a latch mechanism......Lots of work, just to be cool. I think I'd spend my time and money on more power.

Yeah, I don't think it would be worth the time, money, and weight. I'm cool with regularly opening doors.

Nothing wrong with being diferent. It does seem like a lot of money for something that's mostly cosmetic. It's all about priorities I guess.
