Default Siebon Carbon fiber doors

I have found a great deal on siebon carbon fiber doors. My question is can you still use your power windows and interior door pannel?
Or is anyone interested in buying them? They are brand new and i paid $1350 for both doors.

you should call seibon, im sure they will tell you exactly.

but in the meantime..
I had their door PANELS and i will attest that they are not 100% the same as OEM, so i assume they were made to fit their doors, hence, their doors are a bit different than factory.

I'd not use those doors on a car driven on the street btw.

You will save a TON of weight, but sacrafice your lifes safety in ANY crash, and Im sure they are quite loud in terms of wind noise.

IMHO, for track cars w a cage and a purpose only. If thats you, then cool.

THe car is just a weekend cruiser with some minor engine and exterior mods. I was a little to quick on buying them, becuase I see them everywhere for like $2,000.. But maybe they will retain all my comforts..

it can be done, but will require alot of modification and effort i assume. Nothing rocket science, but im sure its not a bolt on. on a mostly stock car.. mmmm, I dont see that looking right.

Again, call Seibon, they answer the ph there.

I wouldn't run them without side impact door beams welded into your roll cage. I'm guessing your not going to paint them, is your life/safety worth having the trendy CF ricer look?

Your car is not a racecar. You are severely risking your safety and the safety of your passenger if you daily drive with CF doors and no roll cage with door support beams. Do not be stupid!

Read again. It is NOT a daily driver. Simply a fun car. I am hoping that sooner than later I can turn it into a auto x car.

Does it get driven on the street or only on the racetrack?

Even a weekend play toy that gets driven on public roads can easily be smashed.

Yes at the moment it is on the street. But eventually will be a track only car.. ANd yes I am aware of the possibly saftey issues with no support bars inside them. No I am not a ricer or trying to be either. Just looking for answers to my questions that's all. If you guys do not want to help answer the question, then **** off and dont **** over this. GROW UP

the amount of weight savings is minimal for a street car. especially w/ full interior and minor bolt ons. sell that **** to a dedicated track racer.
