Vertical Doors!
those CF door panels where cut to allow the doors to go up without rubbing on the A-pillar. the thing that sucks about it though is that they are only usefull when you buy a certain vertical door kit.
i have to find a local place that will work on my door panels. my panels are fine but my A-pillar is taking a beating.

what do the CF door panels do to make the door panels smaller? I thought they were just for the aesthetic look and to match the rest of his dash?

They probably don't extend into the cockpit as far, so they clear the A-pillar easier.. Lots of people end up with 'crush marks' in their doors liners because people don't get their doors open horizontally enough before raising them and the A-pillar pinches the stock plastic door panels.

here's the clincher on this diablo door kit. He said the universal kit for the 350z is one of the top 5 hardest to install. It took them 2 weeks to install this on Dave's car.
If anyone wants these universal kits I can get those for $850.

That's correct... I called and spoke that company that made those door panels. Not only are they 800 a pair... they are 3/4 of an inch smaller where the vent meets the dash. That I was told allows for enough clearance to get the door opened. The guy also said they can make those door panels in fiberglass for 400 a pair.

heh, my decah kit on my M3 took them 3 months.
They had to bolt it, weld it, and build a brand new pillar from scratch. It does help that BMW doors are excessively heavy. Part of the reason why I pushed to get them motorized.
