GullWing doors for 350Z
Does anyone know where i can get gullwing doors like the ones on the honda below, for the Z. I like these becuase they are closer to gullwings, im not feeling the lambo doors.

as it says in big bold letters on the windshield, GT Factory. This is their new product, so I don't know if they make a kit for the Z yet. All I know is that this is a 50% bolt-on, 50% weld-on kit.

I want to know the weight savings on the cf parts. I would paint them to match the car.

I only sell Seibon so they are wet carbon. Weight savings depends on the vehicle. Doors and hatch are the most weight saving pieces.

Too bad carbon doors require a full door cage, preferably "NASCAR bars" to ensure safety in a side collision.

How are the side impact crash protection enhancement properties of these doors?

No you dont. Just take the supporting bar out of the stock door and put it in the CF one.

Do you have any pictures of doing so? If it is what I am imagining, I wouldn't feel safe doing so.

NONE. It will go right to you if you don't have some sort of roll bar protection.
