fiberglass doors
 
Does anyone make a fiberglass door skin for the RX7? Its for a full race car and doesnt need to have anything to support windows, interior bits, etc. I got t-boned at my last race and need a new door. The fancy carbon ones seem a bit to spendy for my taste.

Thanks!
Nick

Did you talk with Jim Downing? He use to make fiberglass 3rd gen parts.

They closed their composites division... unfortunately. I think they are just focusing on hans now.

Labour under a rule where the frame has to be retained and only the skin is free, or can complete door be fg?

SPI in NZ do one if it's the latter, I suspect they're Chinese in origin, pita of a company to deal with too.

I have a feeling that shipping from NZ would cost a small fortune. As far as rules go I just need something that looks stock-ish from 20ft from the car and stays closed whilst racing.

Recall they weren't that bad to here, but yeah, maybe a different proposition that distance.

Doesn't Seibon make some CF doors? Don't know how their build/fitment is though.

I emailed them about if they made a stripped door and or a fiberglass door. Their doors are $2600 on their website. It I figure a lot of cost is in making all of the surfaces for oem stuff.
