Our FD3S Flat door panel were designed to be kick ***. They are inspired by Japanese culture Time Attack cars which have mastered the art of simplifying. We inherited their concept, refined and improved the fine details they lacked (yanno, since they are race cars and dont care... plus we like pretty stuff!) From every bolt to trim to connection point, no detail was overlooked. Starting from the door panel face, templates were modified until the exact profile of the door was achieved and matched the stock location. Moving upwards to the edge, the 90* bend is finished with a nice round soft filet to break the harsh bend. Along side the window, the door panel is trimmed to fill the gap with exact contour and is capped off with a rubber weather strip.

Features
  • Allows more clearance for bucket/racing seats
  • Allows more clearance for roll cage
  • Lighter than stock
  • No drilling/cutting required
  • 100% reversible

Includes
  • Driver/Passenger Door Panel
  • 2x Pull strap (choose your flavor!)
  • Hardware
  • 2x weather strip

These panels are made by RTM, this ensures the proper resin to fiber ratio. This means stronger parts that are not resin rich adding unnecessary weight!

Please note these are made to order and have various lead times
Fiberglass Version: $525 (1-2 weeks)
Carbon fiber Version (CF overlay): est $675-725 (2-3 weeks)
Full Carbon Fiber Version: +150 from above price (2-3 weeks)
**Carbon fiber versions will be available within the next 2 weeks**

You can place the order through our site:
FD3S Door Panels - Race Version

Feel free to ask any questions!

We had some request for more pictures with the doors closed so thought we'd share these as well. Note the seats are Recaro Profi's and the did touch the stock door panels. As pictured, with our door panels they clear perfect with plentyyy of room to spare!

Thanks evo!

So we've got a few questions about the door panels and front speakers so I'd like to address them here. These door panels were intended for "race use" so no modifications were done to keep the front speakers. After having a few people contacting us in regards to the front speaker, we will be taking some time to develop a "kit" allowing you to run front speakers. We will keep you posted on the development!

Hey, we are no longer selling these in fiberglass and have switched to aluminum, thus, allowing us to reduce the price dramatically! The aluminum sets are a little heavier then the composite version (still lighter then stock) but a lot cheaper at $350! You can pre-order on our website to ensure you get yours from the first batch!: FD3S Door Panels - Race Version

If you were to create a basic CF or anodized (black) AL shroud for the door latch guts, that would be pretty awesome. Ideally, you'd convert to a Miata latch mechanism, but something to improve the aesthetics there would be welcome.
