Another Lambo Door Question

[transio]

So does the VX - it should have had two suicide doors for the rear passengers. If the Lambo or Gullwing doors address this flaw, then they become functional by your definition.

I'll concede to that. But you'd have to cut into the B-pillars to do that, which would compromise the structural integrity of the vehicle unless you do some serious reengineering.

when I painted *my* calipers the intent was purely aesthetic - I think the blue paint helps to draw attention to the wheels and rotors and the contrasting colors just look nice... Most true "ricers" likely do it to make a regular 4 banger look like a tuner car.

Right, well most aftermarket brake kits are red or yellow, anyway, so I'd probably put blue calipers on the "bling" list. My Elise had red painted calipers and engine cover. I thought it was a little "ricer" looking, but they were high performance calipers straight from the factory, so I kinda shrugged it off. I probably wouldn't have done it myself, though. If anything, I might have painted them yellow to match the car.
