Sweet doors!

But one question, didn't Fiber Images go out of business or something. I see you have there sticker on the door. I tried to order my hood from them several times (I'm a dealer/vendor/whateveryouwannacallit) and I couldn't get a hold of them forever.

So, what the dealyio?

you might want to invest in a nice roll cage especially with some side impact pertection. Tight shiet though

Ha! Don't lie to the man, you know you are just waiting for that to happen so that you can rub it in with the rest of the SRIC.

only the front ds/ps doors? not the rears? you should match the whole car with CF. hood, trunk, fenders, the whole sha-bang!

Thanks!!! Fiber Images didn't go out of business...they're still around in palmdale, just hit up the website.WWW.FIBERIMAGES.COM and tell them that you saw me on here and was interested on getting a hood, trunk or whatever...the total weight loss was around 200 pounds....totally feel the difference in the car though...these doors are pretty tough but i am looking into getting a roll cage....

Hmmmm....that's weird. I tried to get a dealer account with them, but oh my God is it hard to get a hold of them. It's always that damn message and they never call back. If you say they are still there, new carbon hood, here I come.
