Its not here its a right hand drive car.

I always told you those panels would be a worth while investment. Its too expensive to manufacture though.

Thumbs up Dry carbon

Jay, if we could make those in dry carbon so that it has a "matted" look and don't reflect sunlight onto the window that much then I think will look even better......... But, I know, I know.....dry carbon sheet (pre-preg) and the molding cost too MUCH......!!!

i dont know how they make molds but i dont see why this mold would be too hard to make

if you can get a door panel im sure you can just make the mold out of that...no extensive curves or holes...pretty simple..but then again i might not know what im talkin about....i would LOVE to have these though

Default I think someone could make a fortune

I think someone could mint money by making some leather covers for the doors with another color insret, something like the stillen 350z has (maybe a more simple design). I would do it, but I honestly don't have time to measure the doors, and I don't know **** about leather work. :-)

another part of that door that needs cf is the space between the ac vent and the door handle. That would look quite good. And yeah if someone made leather wrapped door panels that would be awesome. Burnt orange please. haha.

You certainly can, but without economies of scale on your side the cost is prohibitive (at least for me). Plus I am not familiar with installation of such an item. If someone just makes a do it yourself kit for say $500 or less...holy crap it'll be flying off the shelves. Maybe I should email leatherseats.com and see if they're willing to try it.
