Better hope someone doesn't park next to you or you'll be stuck.

+1. You don't want CF doors without a full race cage setup. Not unless you have a deathwish.


You don't have a deathwish do you?

vettes have fiberglass bodies....and these doors have a fiberglass core am i correct? covered with one layer of carbon fiber? (also carbon fiber should be just as strong or stronger than fiberglass as well)

as long as the stock bracing is there i dont see where safety/structural problems come from

Im gonna have to agree. I have a set of 350z doors in my warehouse and I took a look at them. They aren't dinky doors, these are very solid. It is wet carbon so it's basically fiberglass shell with carbon fiber layers.

Doesn't CF shatter instead of bend? If so, I wouldn't want thousands of tiny shards in my face after some idiot in an SUV thought talking on the phone was more important than stopping at a red light.

alot of vette owners don't even care what their cars are made of, or know anything about them except that they like the looks. me and my dad went to the lake in his vette and the marina owner just got a new convertable and was standing there with his owners manual, my dad asked him if something was wrong and my dad had to show him how to drop his convertable top. I coulnd not stop laughing, money buys toys but not smarts.

hah this could be said for a lot of car owners....

i wonder how many rich folks drive lambos and ferraris and dont even know a damn thing about them

but back to topic...

those doors arent really my style but i think they look pretty cool though, ill bet there would be a ton of fitment issues though, prob paint chipping too
