Ya I like the idea, let see if i can get it done. And how much would be worht it to you becuase that is a rather large part. The door panels would be nice to and for under 3500 for the set I think we can do that. but I am not sure how much cheapier becuase in order for the windows to work that would be some work. Let me know.

Doesn't that piece supposedly stiffen the chassis as well? I'd like to see how its made, because that price is rather large.

It looks nice, but I hate engine cover plates like that. Take a look under the hood of the RX-8, you can't see **** cus theres plastic covers in the way of everything. It'd just be one more thing to have to rip off whenever you need to replace something.

That being said, the use Skunks is a CF smith, PM him.

I'm pretty sure it's a strut brace too, but one that goes around the back of the engine. Doesn't seem that effective, but then, I'm not an engineer.

rotarynemesis---Its expensive because you arent suppose to own it.

On a side note to all and the company with that picture, PANSPEED stopped selling that and the CF doors a while ago. Its all good though.. I talked to the owner of PANSPEED and he said he could do one special if I want one, but its more expensive now since he no longer does anything in CF.

I'm sure that thing works great for holding in hot air around the brake booster and turbos. No thanks.

Exactly what I was thinking.
