Codos good find:thumbup:

Here is my 2 cents, Cf is a love or hate relationship so to the Cf haters this thread isn’t for you so STOP READING IT. Go change your oil or something . This thread doesn’t need to be 1000 pgs long about you not liking it or about safety. Ever think it is for looks? Speaking first hand, I wrapped my 87 supra around a light pole at 90 mph and my passenger and I both walked away from it, so I know how safe the doors are on our cars is.
Great find by SupraOfDoom, now lets (lover of CF) put heads together to find out pricing, availability, shipping, lead time, any discounts with multiple orders, all that fun stuff. Again my 2 cents


We dont need more of this ::fundy::

You know, with a little driving skill and some common sense, that whole situation could have been avoided. But then again, if you hadn't wrecked, you wouldn't have gained such an extensive knowledge of carbon fiber and it's structural integrity.

yes learded lots for the crash, and many have been avoided. thanks EdgeSupra 4 seeing that.:icon_bigg on the other note, I know shit about Cf, breaking point or it's structural integrity. I do know i like the way it looks so i would buy lots of it if i had the chance. if fact i would make a supra out of it like the mclaren f1 and do a burn out in your driveway. JK all in fun. Also i think you people too my 2 cent the wrong way.:nono: Cf doors = not as safe as OEM.
OEM = safe, my first had experance. And ya probley a good thing i dont have my nsx, because it would turn into a bunch of beer cans when a light pole is meet at 90 mph.:naughty:

This from the person who not so long ago wrote off his Supra...

Ian, looking to compare to the Datsun?

Right, because that whole thing was my fault. And if you didn't catch that, my entire statement was completely sarcastic:biglaugh:

They're good looking, but I don't think safety is the first thing they had in mind when designing these doors.

I dont think it's very hard to understand. I have been working with CF for the last two year (not a long time, but shit it's not that hard to figure out) and CF is strong but only in the right direction and design. I just made an airfoil for a lab prjoect I have at school and the damn thing was unstable and shit cause i designed the interior incorrectly (lamens terms). Without the right design to withstand an impact, your screwed, plain and simple. Besides, why do you think the factory door is so heavy? uh....cause it needs to hold back a car from T-bone'ing your ass. I had a nissan 240 s14 with CF doors, awesome doors. They look nice, they are lightweight, I even put my factory speakers and all in them. But shit, when i drifting into a barrier of hay blocks, it smashed my passanger door and it freaking shattered. There is even a Best Motoring video of a Nissan 350Z with full CF doors that gets crashed during touge testing and the damn door nearly flew off. I'll see if I can dig up the video. I say to anyone that picks these set of CF doors, if you want to live through a crash and walk away...get a roll cage or some sort. No if's or and's about it.

What a co-inky-dink i'm a Spaniard too!!

Anyways, we've been saying that over and over through this thread. We've already covered that, we're past that point.
Hey, if anyone reads this thread and don't like carbon or want the doors, cool, let it go. As of now, us who do want them or working on getting them.

And yes, our cars have or are getting cages, complete with x bars across the doors believe it or not!
