looks like it would make it even harder to get out in a hurry if you need to.. and if those shocks fail...  I'm sure all of us have opened one of those hoods or tail gates held up by those and had them fall on our heads...  imagine a door.  no thanks

http://daytonimports.com/100_0437.MOV looks like a retarded door that can move up. Honestly I see no reason for it.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Being different is what makes us all unique and interesting. Just one more thing that can set us apart from others. Heck if I wanted to be like everyone else I would drive a completely stock bird. Raise your hand if you have COMPLETELY stock bird-no mods. Thats what I thought :)

These days, Lambo doors doesn't set you apart. It makes you another guy who put Lambo doors on his car.

And my car isn't completely stock. Mostly stock, but not completely stock. ;)

To me, it seems similar to claiming that doing the HO swap makes you "different". Sure, it's something that didn't come from the factory.. but if plenty of other people are doing it, (and in the case of the lambo doors, maybe not done to these cars much yet.. but to plenty other makes and models) it's not very "different".

It's not being different when you follow the new fad......

My cars aren't stock either, but I also don't bother with excessive visual mods......

Besides, on this board....a stock TBird/Cougar would be different ;)

At least we're talking about a 2-door.  I can't tell you how many Neon's I've seen on thier message boards with "Lambo/Scissor" front doors and regular stock rear doors.  Looks dumb and unbalanced.

I still say gull wings are the way to go on a t-bird. I've seen it done but I don't know the details. It was late 80's or early 90' so details are vague. I seem to remember the car being from Ca.

When I think "different" regarding T-birds/Cougars and doors, I think of my idea to try to make RX8-style suicide mini-doors on an '83-86. (think the rear window would be too big on the '87-88 and the Mark) But I'm sure someone would find that annoying and offensive, too. :p
