I was wondering if there were any aftermarket door panels that where simply flat aluminum with a place for a door handle. I know its not a great description but I saw it on an rx7 a while back.

 

13beef has cf i believe

 

Make them yourself. Strip a door panel down to the door card and use it for a pattern. If you can't make them yourself, PM me. I can make them, but you might not like the price.

 

thats what I figured I would have to do. the door card is it pretty much the exact shape I would have to make it? And what material would be best to make it out of? and Trochoid I love you already

 

Unless you have 2 legs instead of 3, let's keep the love part out of it. lol 1/8" aluminum is plenty thick enough, not sure about 1/16 th. If you want to get fancy, blingy, find some 1/8" aluminum treadplate/diamond plate.

Door card is a near, but not perfect match. I would transfer it to poster stock, with a little extra at the edges, then trim for fit from there.

 

You would be right

C/Fiber kills flat sheet metal

 

Wow, where did you get the CF to do that??

 

that is exactly what I want to do, except with only the door handle. Did you just get a sheet and cut it?

 

u aussies are crazy! i love it!

 

so how hard would it be to do that? I would love to do that (but most likely in aluminum due to cost).

 

13BEEF-

Whats the cost of those panels?

 

13BEEF what is goin on with the hoods?
PS not tryin to jack this thread just wondering

 

$415 clearcoated,cheaper without clear (can be polished instead)
