Carbon Fibre doors

[B18ctrb]

Some guy on Honda-Acura.net is trying to get a group buy on carbon fibre doors from Seibon if any one is interested? He said if there are like 5 peopl involved the price wpuld be around 1300.00 for the set. If there were 10 people they would cost 1000.00 per set. This seems like a good price since I have seen them go for like 1600.00 for a door on" takakaira" a JDM web site.

just so everyone understands, it's only the interior door panels... not the WHOLE DOOR.

 

[Bangin' HB]

are you sure anf? last time i checked the panels were only a couple hundred, yet the entire doors were 1200+ per door. and the price he has is high enough to be the entire door. and if memory is correct, seibon does do c/f doors

 

[Rand0m]

thats what i thought too...i was lookin at some complete c.f. doors, and for the SI they were like 1500, som im guessin he is talking about the whole door, cause 1g for a c.f. door panel is rediculous

 

[B18ctrb]

Yeah the guy thats trying to get this going is for the complete door. Good price I think so.

That's taking the CF thing a little too far if you ask me... at least for a street car.

 

[DirtyD]

yea, it's not like any of our cars are going to be fast enough to need to worry about reducing that much weight

 

[Hesus]

those doors are 2dr,3dr or 4dr??

No s**t.

 

[anfrey]

oh s**t. sorry guys. i guess i was misinformed... i haven't stumbled across whole cf doors before... someone please link me

 

[ImportFan1]

i think that is ridiculous to get whole doors they should only make cf hoods

I think that if you go all out on cf you can save a good amount of weight off the car. hood + front fenders+ doors + front & back bumpers = lots of weight saved. IMO

Well no s**t you would lose weight... but at that point your car might as well be a race only car. Then you'd be way better off getting a fiber glass body on a tube frame.

and carbon fiber front lips, those are hot.

no way they make CF everything from trucks hatch doors lips wings, u can pretty much get everying in cf besides your 1/4 panels....Mugen makes a CF roof for the S2000...personly i think CF is nasty and if i had the money i would get all CF parts....make myself a lil wanna be Mclaren ;-)

 

[DirtyD]

I like CF but it gets kind of overdone sometimes

 

[BlueSi2000]

CF is never overdone

 

[JCV2000]

Wrong. Ive seen it, CF gets downright ugly sometimes. Oh, and try getting in an accident with CF doors. Mmm, fiberglass tastes good!
