This thread is for anyone who needs to get some third party feedback on anything/everything truck related.

What about Lambo doors on trucks? Hot or Not?
I'd say Not for this one.

I agree, NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. The same for huge rims and rubber band tires. They look ridiculous and serve no purpose on a truck.

I think anything under a 35 profile is getting down pretty slim.

Not. Only truck these look somewhat cool on are Ford Rangers. Partially 'cause you can mix-up the lettering on the hood to spell "Ranger."

Agreed. Lambo doors are WAY played-out. Next...

Define "new." They look good on the round-body S10s/Sonomas ('94-'04). They also look somewhat cool on the '88-'98 GM full-sizes.

Range Rover front grille/lights for the 88-98 chev/gmc: Really, Really Ugly.
Lambo Doors: A Fad that has passed.
Rims over 20/22": Will look dated ten years from now (hopefully).
Super low-profile tires: look O.K. but ridiclous. If you're *** a brick every time you hit a pothole, that's a problem.
Baby moons on a "New" model truck: only acceptable if the truck is done with an all-out, old-school theme. Otherwise look stupid.
Rag tops: getting a little dated. The smoothed headliner will be more practical, won't leak and will look good a lot longer. The coolest (and most work) would be a power moon-roof.

All I can say about Lambo doors is this:


Lowpro tyres can look good depending on the vehicle. If it's a dualie, yea, that's anything but hot in my opinion, but something smaller and sportier, then yea, can look hot. But 35 and less profile is just silly on all vehicles I think.  But I have 40 profile tyres on 17" rims on my van and they look spot on.

Baby moons only suit retro or retro themed rides.

Rag tops can look good though I think, and I am debating on putting one into my van, but a large panoramic roof is much sleeker, and more stylish I think.



The big one here............chrome - hot or not on that?? Personally, I prefer polished aluminium over chrome any day - your thoughts??
