Looks pretty bad with the mismatched handles, the car looks like a jigsaw puzzle pieced together with no flow

if only C-West makes these parts for Gs. You'd have a real CF that is actually lighter and stronger than metal.

10mm wider than the stock ones,the also have the same vents the hood has in it as well....this is said to be an oem fitment...well see how that goes...but they are on order...i thought about possibly getting a CF rear apron as well...heres an idea..what if the car was black?

They look awesome but i would rather overlay my doors with cf than swaping to those. it someone was to t-bone you there wouldn't be much protection.

wet laid carbon fiber is no where near the same as dry carbon fiber. look it up

well the vehicle is not a daily driver..its out maybe once a week, if nice out..i figured id go for a different look than many people go for, the cage is in the specs and its not certain yet there will be one..and yes the cage would add the wieght i took off,this issue has been considered. the doors are more for an aggressive look, and i got them for 800$, couldnt pass up a good deal...CF is not for everyone, but personally i like it.one the car is complete this summer all the pieces will come together

Why not just wrap the OEM doors in CF like Mizter_G did with his roof?
