As the body work of the projection lights appears to be quality, the workmanship of the doors is probably the same. Nonetheless, I like the 928 lights, and even the good old doors.

I like them. But that car might look just as smokin with regular doors.

I always liked that butterfly style but thought you needed more room beside your car to actually enter and exit fromt he vehicle....couldn't find some one to do a quality job either.

Can't imagine how short the life of those hinges/mounting would be with that big heavy door.

There are not many mods that make me shake my head each and every time I see it.

Agree the doors suck, but got to admit, the car is timeless..... When I saw it not realizing it was 928, I thought cool car..

I like the doors on modern Aston Martins. They're the child of butterfly doors and regular ones.

First and foremost, much more difficult to get in and out of the 928 and just forget about trying to open the door in a parking spot. In the end, it just looks cheap.
