lambo doors would look awesome on a trans am or firebird. If i lived in cali where their are some good shops i would seriously think about having it done when i had the whole car painted.

Actually, I think the gull-wing doors would look better on a thirdgen than lambo doors.

I agree with that last post. Personally I wouldn't change a thing about my thirdgen other than maybe the seats. Then make it more powerfull. That's it though.

Gull wing doors look cool, but on a daily basis they are the biggest pain in the *** in the world to deal with.

Did any of you watch the video for that conversion??? The door looked wobbley as all get out when it opened. Can you imagine how bad a heavy 3rdgen door would wobble when opening! Bad conversion kit IMO.

While I'm at it... here's a link to some M.A.S.K. episodes from the first season. They're pretty crappy quality, and .rmp files, so you can't download them, but hey it's still fun to watch!

Watch the video again, and you will see that the doors open standard at first then they go up... it looks to me like its only a novelty...

I think I will pass, and I agree (GULL WINGS)
