Default Carbon fiber hood AND doors?

I think the word for people like me is otaku... but anyway, I was in Japantown buying anime and cool stuff for my car and I picked up this year's Tokyo Auto Salon Option Video. In the beginning of the video they had an awesome looking Soarer 2.5T with a carbon fiber hood and doors. The mirrors were also carbon fiber. does anyone sell anything like that here? Maybe Importtoys can get them?

Hi,
All we need is a name
I have seen the Carbon hoods as well as the ones with the big hump for the super charger. Very nice,VERY expensive (even 'at cost') but Doors?! Every time a new OPTIONS comes out someone steals it from the office and i never get to see it

Email me emerald@importtoys.com or Marcus at importtoys@yahoo.com with any info you have.
He will be back in the States on Thursday.

The brand it said was Carmake T&E. It was a pretty sweet car with red paint and the carbon fiber stuff looked good.
Their site is here http://www.t-and-e.co.jp/top.html

Sorry, I thought you said T&A, got a little excited.

Carbon Fiber door would be nice if they were straight and painted.

Default YEs..please find out

YEs. Carbon fiber doors, hood, and trunklid would be ideal.
IF they were exactly OEM spec..would be ideal.

I know importtoys.com was trying to get some hoods. I'm still on that list.

Hey Clint, didn't know you were still on the forum. Long time no speak! Is that you in your picture?

How's your 900hp SC3 doing these days?

Yes, that is my goofy melon photoshop'd on that peksy DELL guy's body.

The 900hp lexus is becoming a 500hp lexus and the 225 hp lexus is becoming a 1000+hp lexus. My 4 figure back account is becoming a 5 figure note.

good god, carbon fiber doors? these are what weigh so much on the SC.

If i could get a set of carbon fiber doors that were painted; i'd lay the money down; that would DEFINITELY equal some HUGE weight savings

I think that deal fell through.. still waiting to hear back from Marcus on the ones I saw. That hardracing one looks like a deal, I think I'm going to check that out. The weight savings will be enormous, the hood is one of the most massive parts of the body.
