CF Doors
Sorry if this is a repost, i searched and didn't find anything. Anyone have these? I was searchin the net and stumbled across these. Never seen them before

Site doesn't look too good but apparently they're made by Seibon. Was thinkin how cool it would be to have an all CF tC. It's slowly becoming a possibility.
CF Hood = Check
CF Fender = Check
CF Hatch = Check
CF Doors = Check apparently
CF Side Skirts = Check
all thats left is that rear quarter thing that connects to the roof. Front bumper, and rear bumper.

oh yea. You'd be f%^#ed if you got hit in a CF box. But i think it'd still be cool to have. Maybe CF with a roll cage to keep it safe. idk. I don't plan on doing it but i think it'd be cool.

This was posted a couple of weeks ago, i would be afraid to sell those, I'm wondering what would happen if you got t-boned, I would only get those if you have a show car that gets trailered or a race car, thats my opinion thou....and yes, Kamanari does make a CF roof.

Either way, there's no way your insurance would even THINK about covering you in the event of an accident.
The Kaminari CF roof wouldn't be as bad, seeing as the majority of the roof support is in the greenhouse arch, rather than in between.

CF is like a stronger version of fiberglass, which is used on ALOT of car bodys.
In an accident, the structural difference between thin sheet metal and CF is very minimal. You will either A: Be hurt either way, or B: Not be hurt either way.
From my experience with our doors, the plastic interior panels are more stout than the tin foil skin on the out side. Downside to CF would be theres no paintless dent removal.
