Don't get me wrong, the quality of the CF is good, but the mold must be crap as it does not fit right and leaves gaps in a number of places. I am having to use black rubber to fill the gaps in so you can not see down and inside of the door frame......
I will also be using a couple of discreetly hidden screws to hold the door down and in place properly.
PumpedVA probably had the right idea in having his custom fibered.....

I bought mine through Chaser Aero and had them installed by a shop they recommended in the Maryland area. I do not think they use different shocks for different cars within the same kit, but you would have to ask the dealers/manufactures that question.

This is not a good way for them to advertise their products at shows and if this is not their normal quality, I would hope to get another replacement set more worthy of their good name.
Otherwise I will have not choice but to tell the truth of my displeasure to others.

Brent when they start molding my new panals I will ask how much to make a extra set if you want? but i am molding all of my door not just the top half. they will still be two pices because I wanted them painted blue on top and black on the bottom so I needed to keep that seam to make the paint look right.

Well, I will know Wednesday when they should have the car finished (I hope, fingers crossed.... ) I think your doors are going to be awesome man. Keeping with the original line of the doors is the right way to go.
Bubble, I would think Sly-Z would have given you any tips on install if there was a problem. Sounds like it will work fine for you. Good Luck.

Dude, all I can say is I want to find an employee of GT Factory and hurt him at this point..... 4 days and counting trying to get 1 panel to install correctly.
Bubble good luck with yours. I guess Mike already made any mods to the panel necessary to mount.
Pumped: It is looking like I might want to 'buy' into your custom panels. This has GOT to get finished this week or I am just going to get my car and the hell with the panels.

In what state? Yea got pics, normal ones and gutted ones... and ones depicting the areas you need to cut in order to get the doors on. But I was SOOOO mad the other day that I did not get any pics of the new interior, or of the doors mounted and up, nor any of the new stereo or monitors. I expect to have some of these sent to me in a day or so.

Some old (4 months) pics of my car at AAM. It is the customer car on the main page, scroll down the page to see all of the various interior/engine/exterior/underbody pics if you want. This is pre body kit, interior work, doors, graphics and engine dress-up.

So, I am working on new pics but not until the weekend I think, when I get my car back (if I get it back that is)

Let me know what you think about the doors, I already know people don't necessarily like the graphics...

This has always been my question about the whole Lambo door on a non Lambo car rice debate...
If a Lambo had a conversion so it's doors opened like a Z's doors, would the Lambo be riced out?
