Panspeed

from JT Imports:



100% carbon fiber. Your able to use your original power windows inside the door too, and door panel if you would like.


IMO, they're not worth it unless your trying to save every last pound. I heard they dont even weigh that much different than stock doors. Plus the price is crazy, even though it is carbon fiber.

Its not listed on their website, but they might make them. I know they make a carbon fiber front end and hatch, but not sure on the doors.

Totally only for looks and not worth it... Like someone said before take all the hardware off of a stock door and see how little it weighs.. And well the lambo doors are even worse..

Oh I noticed it alright lol even though I wasn't gonna look at this thread (cuz I knew Panspeed made the CF doors). Like you said before...to each his own. Personally, I think it's pimp lol. Sometimes a hassle, yes. But I love 'em.

Besides...c'mon now. Most ppl have subs, amps, and speakers that weigh MORE than the hinges...

My bad...I didn't mean for my tone to come off harsh (it's kinda hard to control online...) I know you're not givin me grief. I remember last time you were just pullin my chain. It's all good man

No sub amp or speakers? Well, I have to admit...the sound of the rotary IS sweet enough...

EDIT: oh and the rolling eyes were for ppl complaining about 66lbs for 2 hinges, but have 150 lbs in subs amps and speakers, that's all lol.

Shaddup lol. Besides, you don't hear me complaining about 2 lbs here and there, do ya? I don't drag my car, so weight reduction isn't a primary concern of mine.

Bump.

I've got a question here, Does the CF door only consist of the interior trim only or does it consist of the whole door inside/out?

both inside and out, but unless the door is molded correctly and with dry carbon there is very little strength in the event of an accident. If you look at some Porsche racing parts you'll find the right kind of carbon fiber door, I highly doubt the ones for the Rx-7 will provide any kind of protection.
