  • What??? carbon fiber doors??

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/93-02-Chevro...item3cbd6afc0a


    WTF? I wonder how safe those are for daily driving? and I wonder how much lighter those are than stock...

    I'm sure they're very light. I cannot imagine what would happen if you got hit though... Would it be like breaking a composite hockey stick? Just shards of material everywhere?

      those have been around for a couple years. seen a couple camaro's with them online... you can almost get carbon fiber everything!

      ive seen front fender, rear fender, hood, hatch, doors, rear bezel, door panels, that piece that goes over the top before the T-Top & T-Top covers, all carbon fiber! :drool:
      Wait, Is that a V6 or V8?

        They probably don't have the inside crash bars with them. Considering how crappy our side impact rating is already, I wouldn't want them on a street car. Our doors have a composite skin anyway.

          I've looked into it. Pretty much race car only stuff. You'd need to run lexan windows, which won't go down. Highly impractical and I don't think they fit that well.

            are you sure you would need to run lexan windows? (not that Im looking to run these...just thought it was neat) It looks like it has all the factory cutouts in it...like you could just place your manual/power regulators etc etc etc inside and away you go?

              Definatly cool for a weekend warrior. Not sure I'd want them for a daily thats for sure.

                  100lb doors! Wow, that's what stock weighs. No wonder they start creaking after a while.

                    I really don't think they're 93lbs per side. I've had them off and held them in my hands before.

                        I'd believe they are close to that with all the hardware etc inside them and glass included

                        Without the glass though, I dunno...
