    As stated, recently won an F40 at auction and will be making it my daily driver. As such, I am upgrading it(resale is inconsequential). Getting a custom 10" touchscreen put in as well as a few other minor improvements and a custom wrap. I am a former Bentley/Lambo guy and making a large statement is very useful in my industry. Thanks for all ops

    may I ask what industry that is?

    and I wouldn't do the Lambo doors conversion to an F40. that's like drawing glasses and a groucho marx mustache on the Mona Lisa.

    lambo doors is great for any car. Also make sure you stance out the car and put on some camber. Don't forget to slam that pimped ride.

    It's your car do whatever you want.

    But if it's my opinion, hell no, I would never add lambo doors to my Hotwheels 1:18 Scale F40! ;)

    Forget the doors, get spinners. They'll make a bigger statement. It won't be a good statement, but it'll be a statement.

    I always thought suicide doors looked better than Lambo doors on F40s. To each their own.

    I would just remove the doors altogether (think Jeep). It will reduce weight and shows off the interior much, much better.

    The only issue with putting Lambo doors on your F40 is that the doors have to be open for anyone to notice your car, so you'll have to drive around with the doors open all the time if you want to make a statement, but as you said, big statements are useful in your industry, so you'll definitely want to do that, otherwise your statement would be too small, and that would defeat the purpose of adding Lambo doors to your F40. I would recommend tinting your windows really dark and adding wing on top of the wing to make your statement even bigger. I think putting a flatscreen TV in front of the windshield would be useful as well, because the 10" touchscreen will be too small to use as a TV.

    Why stop there? Put it on airbag suspension, add a single 8 inch exhaust pipe, glue neon lights to it, slide some 24 inch wheels on it and take that bad boy to KFC on Saturday night, job done. Just don't pick up fat girls....it will scrape.
