CF door project complete!!!FINALLY

well it took nearly 12hrs of modification for these bad boys but needless to say im extremely satisfied with the install the only thing im disapointed about is the way the doors hang with the weight of the window motors and interior skins..where the doors bolt on to the car is simply fiberglass...theres no reinforcement...but its not noticable until the door actually closes and you have to slightly lift....other than that...looks good,heres some pics...enjoy!! having trouble with pics hope this works!

cf does great in an accident... I hit a wall head on at 70mph and the only thing left in the front end was my CF hood.. only cracked the clear coat... CF is supposedly way stronger than any metal

I'd rather have my hood fold in 30 milion places before a fully cf hood goes into the cabin and decapitates me. lol

that means the hood was poorly designed and failed to provide any type of crash protection. You are lucky to be alive after that
