Anyone know of any laws precluding you from driving a car with carbon fiber doors? i know you can't import one or manufacture one that doesn't meet DOD side impact ratings... but what about consumer type... building? or whatever



i just got my doors.... roll cage starts in a few days... but i was wondering if anyone knew if it would be illegal for me to drive the car to the shop with the new doors

 

Lil too late now huh.. You already installed them.. **** it!!

 

Drive and let us know if you get stopped.

 

Well you need a cage since there are no supports in the doors, once you cage it its no longer safe on the street unless you wear a helmet all the time.
I know people that have been screwed with over just having a cage, Im thinking you will get pulled for that more then the doors. Not many cops would know all about the carbon doors and how they are made...

 

jeep owners drive around without doors all the time. i think you'll be fine...

ps. any full size pics of the car? looks pretty good so far

 

Cops arn't the brightest around here, just tell them you painted them that color and you are planning on painting the rest of the car. It's like a checkered pattern.

 

just say its an overlay and you're going for that JDM-tyte look. all you need is a couple zip-ties and key chain sized stuffed animal hanging from the back somewhere

 

I don't think you'll have an issue with that...looks good so far!

 

bwahahahaaaaaa.... i'll be sure to try that... though my car looks more like a batmobile than a jdm piece...

 

exactly...

 

I don't think you will have a problem with the cf doors. Just wear your seatbelt at all times and they may not notice or paint it.

 

i know this is a WAY old post... but just an update... been driving around with CF doors ever since this post, been pulled over many times, and nobody has ever said anything so... good to go i guess

also... nobody has ever said anything about the roll cage either

 

Nice

Post pics of your car OP .

 

more or les what it looks like nowadays...
