im trying to figure that out now......they are pure aerospace carbon fiber. i have to figure out what it costs me in materials....

just so you guys understand what these are.....

these are made from areospace grade 3k carbon fiber. they are vacuum infused with high grade, high temp epoxy resin. then oven cured. they are finished with dupont chromaclear clear coat for UV protection.

this prosess is 1 step down from using a prepreg, autoclave system like the f1 and motogp carbon fiber bodies are made.

these are not fiberglass backed cheap vinyl ester resin parts, these are top quality epoxy and carbon.



$225 dollars a set

$200 dollars a set for blemished clearcoat (just need a little color sanding) or painted.

let me know if you are interested.....

thank you. they are light too. the stock door panel weighed about 7 lbs with the pockets on them. mine came in at 1.1 lb. with the clear coat.

Very cool stuff, I like the gauge pods and door panels...what are the price estimates on those?

Any way to make the stock arm-rest (pass side) and deposit box (driver-side) bolt on?

door panels will be $450 per set with the pull handle and powder coated screws. and the gauge pod will be $50.

you could always thru bolt the arm rest and deposit box on....

I wish I could afford those sweet door inners. I just wish i could see your setup for making those bad boys.

Those door panels look sweet! I used thin black ABS for mine so they probably weigh about the same but only cost $10 or so. wink.gif
