Well I mean isn't that what this site is for, throwing out crazy ideas and see what people say, or am I totally wrong about that?

This is aleromod...not Pimp My Ride. Crazy ideas sure, but if 80% of the people say no....move on to another idea. You'll eventually find an idea the general population haven't thought of and may like. Right now though, you're definately the captain of the fail boat and not abandoning ship.

Remember the KISS (keep it simple stupid) Start with simple "unique" mods. Don't jump in to a project thats going to make or literally break your car. Start with some tint. Paint interior. Don’t jump in to "I'm going to make my car fly!!" or some crazy out of wack idea. I have to agree with everyone wood/diamond plate floors=Fail. But hey we could all be wrong and you are some genius. Alot of the cool shit out there is a result of people saying don't do it. It's dumb. Look at lambo doors for example. Back in the day somebody came up with that, and I'm sure the guy next to him was like wtf are you dumb? Why would that help at all. So don't take criticism to heart (which you seem not to) Some people will say its dumb. Sometimes their right, sometimes their wrong. But in this case they are probably 99.9% right.

I've done that to the trunk of my car. IMO it looks terrible. I took it out in less than a month. The only thing it helps out is if you have a system. It is done to a few Scions i've saw on Cardomain.

unique ideas, yes. we'll run with them. Go ahead and bounce ideas off us... but FIRST, think about these simple things...
1) is it possible? Yes/No
2) Is it monetarily feasible? Yes/No
3) Does it serve a viable purpose? Yes/No
4) Has it been done, or something similar? Yes/No
5) If it was possible, would others be interested in the same? Yes/No
6) Does it look good? Yes/No
if you can't get 4 of 5... its not worth doing.
We'll help you clarify ideas, but if everyone collectively disagrees with you, its probably because you haven't thought it through properly. Coming up with an idea, is easy.... but to implement it, you need to look at all angles.

The first vehicle to feature scissor doors was the 1968 Alfa Romeo Carabo concept car, designed by Bertone's Marcello Gandini. The door style was dictated by Gandini's desire for an innovative design, and by his concern over the car's extremely poor rear visibility. In order to reverse the car, the driver would be able to lift the door and lean his upper body out of the hatch in order to see behind the car. The first production car to feature the doors was a Lamborghini, Gandini's Countach; the sports car's wide chassis created similar problems to those found on the Carabo, calling for the unusual door configuration. The doors were used on the Countach's successor, the Diablo, on its replacement, the Murciélago, and on a low-production run derivative of the Murciélago called the Reventón.[2] Having used the exotic door style for several of its cars, the Italian manufacturer has become synonymous with the implementation of scissor doors, which are sometimes colloquially referred to as "Lambo doors".
So I'm sure people were hating on Marcello Gandini's idea. Even though it was to reverse rather then looks
