While I don't like aftermarket Lambo doors (I only tolerate them on actual Lamborghinis), there was never any performance aspect to them so I can't think of them as rice, despite being popular with ricers. On the other hand, applying black vinyls to the 'gills' of the Camaro to make them look like brake ducts ...
and who's to say his garage ain't too narrow to open the doors normally?
