The biggest problem with the current doors is that they swing outward and can hit other cars.
One solution to this is to make the doors pop out and slide back, like the sliding doors on a minivan. The tracks would be a challenge, as there isn't much car behind the rear doors. Some sort of telescoping track is indicated.
Another, more radical, approach is to have the doors pop out and slide or pivot straight upward on tracks or struts, remaining upright the whole time. This would be very cool and, for sponsored show cars, would put the sponsor's advertisment well above head level for all the crowd to see!
I think that either of these approaches would work well if the front and rear doors were joined as a unit. The second one sounds the more interesting of the two, and would work a heck of a lot better than lambo doors!

or look real ghetto... 
I mean, don't get me wrong, my dad drove a CJ5 when I was smaller. I loved that jeep. I just think any vehicles other than jeeps and hummers that have removable/canvas doors look cheap...

Yeah, this is my opinion, say please don';t shoot me. I like the car, but the area above the license plate should be smooth all the way across. The two recessed areas above and to the left and right of the license plate detracts from the look. Those doors are pretty sweet.

I spoke to JT Auto Style:
The kit will be ready for shipping out in 2 weeks. Cost is $1,000. The guy said that for the kit to work perfect and the doors to go all the way up the fenders NEED to be shaved a little or the kit will not work right. The doors will open but will not go all the way up with out a little shave!
Also he said if you live buy them they will install the kit for free (not includeing the fender shaving)

lambo-cide doors?
I've seen suicide doors with lambos and the flow doesn't seem right. Has anyone thought of doing lambos that open up opposite of each other on one side, kinda like a swiss army knife would open up? Don't know if I'm explaining it clear enough - help. I'm sure someone gets what I'm saying and can explain it better.

where fronts lambo up forwards and rear lambo's but towards the rear??? Thats something I have thought would be pretty sweet, probably really hard to do though. However Koenigsegg has the best looking doors ever. http://www.koenigsegg.com/thecars/index.asp?submenu=3
