Thanx for clearing that up for us? I figured you would come on and say something of that nature. You are the best at burying yourself. On the other hand, if you charge people good money and use cloth found on E-bay then I can't believe it. Is that E-glass fabric? do you even know what that means? Everything you said on this forum seems to be fabricated. You don't even know what the truth is. Start talking some sense otherwise its obvious your lying. Plus I thought you didn't need any of us on this forum? BTW, don't hurt me please. I know you have been to jail a bunch of times.

The fitment of the body parts is pretty amazing IMO. It looks worse in those pictures than in real life, and those pictures are old... I haven't seen many wide body kits with fitment like that. I'm not sure about the doors. THe cars at JPR a lot because Jim helps him get ready for shows (installing nitrous last minute, etc).

I don't know what to believe, can you blame me? The owner of the CF car has to be on here, and hopefully can straighten this out for everyone. I think it looks bad also. The fittment is absolutely terrible, especially for stock panels laminated with CF. I commend the work done on there, its not easy. But why? is what I don't get. Somebody obviously had a **** load of dinero to burn. Like I said, to each its own. I love CF, I do this everyday. I would never do that to my FD. Period.

His name is Joe and I have no idea if he's on the forum. He said the kit came from China, that's all I know. Again, if you see it in person, the car is very nice (and I can't stand most body kits). It has placed highly is quite a few shows.

I'v sat inside that car. I pretty funny really. It has a bolt in 8point roll cage. But the harnesses are mounted to the floor

I'll say that it does look good....But once you dig deeper you see how many shortcuts have been taken.

It's best not to make such generalizations. There are indeed reinforced CF doors which would do very well in side impacts. They're quite expensive, however: https://www.rx7club.com/interior-exterior-audio-26/rx-7-series-6-carbon-fibre-doors-483641/ Moreover, here's some food for thought. Much of the energy of the impact (the force that would kill you) would be disappated by the shattering of the CF, and used in sending it flying in various directions.
