Default Carbon Fiber Door Panels

Mainly a drag part but after a few months of testing, we are happy to release these panels to you all.
Introductory pricing will be $240 for the pair

If you are looking to take some weight off the doors, these are a great alternative to high priced heavier aluminum door panels.

These door panels weigh in at a hair under 12oz per side including fasteners. The OEM door panels weigh in at 8lbs 13oz per side. So the total weight savings with our carbon fiber door panels is 16lbs 2oz.



The door panels come supplied with your choice of screws or rivets for the install. We chose to relocate the power window switches on this car, however you could come up with a method to mount the oem switches in the panels still. The carbon door panels slip over the inner window rail for a clean install appearance. The door panels are vacuum infused to ensure the lightest part possible and correct resin ratio.



Close up of the weave:


Get your order in now before the price goes up!

If we have roll up windows would it be ok to cut a hole for the crank? I don't know much about carbon fiber's properties in this regard.

Yes sir, that would not be a problem at all. A sharp new razor blade or dremel would work best for cutting that hole.

Would there be any possibility of having the OEM contoure of the arm rest?

I can't make a CF ball. May be able to cover a aluminum ball in carbon though.

Which panel are you referring to? Post a picture if you don't mind.

So the flat panels above with an arm rest sort of like the factory one on them? I can do that but realize it would be a decent amount more money as I would have to make these panels thicker and carbon isn't cheap.

Can you just make a real CF interior and not charge $1000? I see in your OP you have a CF dash but i dont see it on your site. Also a carbon fiber Trans Am rear bumper insert would be nice. Also an OEM Carbon Fiber LT1 WS6 hood. There isn't a single one on the market and people are always asking for it. I can loan you mine lol depending on where you are.

Lets see what you come up with and I'd be down for sure. I know I couldnt go without the armrest cause I use it a lot.

Can we see more of your interior? I'm interested in that dash.

Here you go! I've heard of this specific panel referred to as a "sail panel" and also the "halo". I'm not sure what the actual name is.

Yes, that's what I've been looking for a while. I think your price now is very good for what you are selling. I wouldn't mind spending more down the road to have a set with the contour already in them. Those and one of your colums would make my weight goal for my 93 even easier.
