Sorry sir, nothing like that yet, but SEIBON and few other vendors can provide the follwing:

FRONT DOORS

REAR DOORS

TRUNK

HOOD

FRONT FENDERS

CF WING

APR has the mirrors and we can special order front and rear cf bumpers as well as the roof if needed. So I guess that will come pretty close to your requirements.

Cheers

Carbon Parts

it would be neat to know if these parts are all real carbon and not just a one layer of carbon and the rest glassfibre. I just made doors for mazda miata race car using all carbon and nomex honeycomb. End wieght was 6 pounds per door!!!Fit up was perfect too. Just checked website and there no frills parts just like VIS. one layer of carbon and rest glassfibre so what. They should try to make a real composite part thats vacuum bagged and using all aero approved bits.

Interesting that you bring that up. I can have those built special order. The reason they use fiber glass skeleton is for rigidity as you probably very well know. I have a hood for my car that weighs 6.5 pounds but you cannot really use it on street. I may also mention that these doors should only be used with a roll cage or on show cars, these doors will not provide any crash protection.

YOU MAKE VERY LITTLE SENSE. GLASS FIBRE UNDERSTRUCTURE TO BE MORE RIGID THAN FULL CARBON AND HONEYCOMB. NO. TO GET THE SAME STRENGHT RATIO(FABRIC/RESIN MATRIX) IF USING A EPOXY RESIN SYSTEM YOU WOULD HAVE TO USE A WOVEN 120 STYLE S-GLASS WHICH IS JUST ABOUT THE SAME COST AS CARBON FABRIC. AND IF YOU DONT WANT TO USE THE HOOD ON THE STREET WHERE SPEEDS ARE LOWER WHY WOULD YOU USE IT ON THE RACE TRACK WHERE SPEEDS ARE MUCH HIGHER SUSTAINED.

Ok let's try this again...lol. The reason they use fiber glass skeleton is that because it is a cheaper way to have some what rigidity so the the door hinges and locks can be mounted. Secondly the hood cannot be popped opened but has to be removed, secondly I know of people who by CF hoods and dont use hood pins, therefore from liability stand point these items are deemed for off road use only. I hope this clarifies some of the points.
