$654.97/pair. That is like 1/4 of Seibon.

Good price.

Yup, that is my car in that picture. Didn't know they were using it haha.

Anyways, I have the B-magic doors on my car and the fitment was almost 100% perfect. I was suprised, but hey I am not complaining.

I would get these over Seibon since mine are vacuum bagged whereas the Seibon units are handlaid fiberglass which are heavier. Just keep in mind that you should run a full roll cage after purchasing the doors.

I thought people were saying these doors cost thousands. They're cheap as h*ll. If I can figure out what to do with the door piece that goes on my Mastergrade kit I'll be getting some of these shortly. Anyone have any Ideas on how to show they're carbon but still have the door panel part of the kit? I think it would look dumb if I had a cf door with a blue piece up top.

Does the factory door have any crash beams that must be removed when installing these? Why such the large weight savings besides the fact that they're CF... unless our doors are made of solid steel =)

Keep in mind that they are cheaper because it is NOT true dry carbon. I plan to have true dry carbon doors made since it is safer. Dry carbon doesn't crack as badly as fiberglass during an accident. The last thing I need is debris going into my eyes

There are crash beams built in the OEM doors as well. I forgot how much the door itself weighs without the window motors, glass, etc. It was around 47 lbs each?

my doors are heavy. oh wait it's all of that dynamat I put in there silly street cars *grins*

those look like a great value, but having to run a full cage is no fun on a street car - i tried that a few years ago...
