Anyone ever installed "Lambo" doors on a Turbo Coupe?
I thought this would be a cool idea. If I never do it I want to put the idea into some T-Bird fan's heads.
Long live THE BIRDS!

Never put them on a TC but i have put them on a Acura integra and a Dodge stealth. And after those 2 cars i prolly never would too many problems. An it seemed the heavier the door the more the problems.

No way. Those doors are so heavy, that if they came down hard they would cut your legs off like a tree wacker. Plus it played out now anyway

Too ricy for a TC.
It's your car do what you want. While your at it you should put one of those big ugly wings on it. Maybe some spinners to.

Don't forget the Fart can Mufflers!! LOL. Just kidding. My son had those on his cavalier, and it was nothing but trouble. The doors didn't seal right and after awhile they had trouble closing. He had them converted back. Those doors are alot lighter than ours also. But, if you like it go for it. Everyone has different takes on what they want for their car.

My passenger door has been hit. The pillar is alittle bent. However,its bent enough so I have to grove the door hinge itself about a inch. If I ever have to replace the hinge frame area then maybe it would be a good idea to put a support there? That would hold the door alot better.
Oh well, to each his own.
