I'd like a set but I would paint them to match the car. I believe Ebanks is working on getting a set made for his SC.

I agree, now the hood or trunk fine, but the doors no way.

Why get a trunk made which is probably the lightest factory body panel on the car, and not get doors made? The doors would probably save literally 10x the weight of the trunk lid.

And, BTW if we do get them made I will paint them to match, and they will be available possibly through myself and another CL member.

This is a big if though, as the shop that does the best work is not all the interested in working on this project because they don't think we could sell many.... And I think they are right!

This is true, but for everyday driving carbon fiber anything is a big waste of money.

Arrow carbon

Shoot! If money wasn't an issue, I wouldn't mind having some carbon fiber doors. Some people act like you see them everyday, on a Lexus. Oh Quit It! Well, at least they kinda tried to match it by having the red carbon on doors
