    Carbon Fibre Parts Thread

    Finally a thread on Carbon Parts... Hopefully listing all the major carbon parts out there, along with comments on their fit and finish. (please no posting about carbon plug covers, carbon stickers etc.)


    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Ok my project of converting my DC5 to as much carbon fiber as possible is coming along.

    The hood is already on, but before I buy the front fenders, rear hatch, side skirts, rear bar and doors.... I need some feed back on what the quality of finish and fit are. Especially because I don't get to see them before I buy them.

    My first priority is carbon doors. I have been in contact with Just JDM about Seibon carbon doors, who said that their numerous other products were good, but that their doors are horrible. He said that the doors he ordered for an Miss'nbits EVO (or is it Bits'r'miss'n) well anyway, that the Seibon doors he ordered for a customer arrived and had the door lock latch 2 inches too high and the doors required heavy modify'n even to accept the window motor and other parts.


    So before posting about other carbon parts, can we quickly establish the available carbon doors out there, and their fit and finish. There are a few people on this forum who have carbon doors, so if they could list what brand and where they got them from then

          LOL I have PM'd AND emailed Jing.... But no response for a couple of days.

          If anyone can remind him with a jab in the ribs... please feel free

          But seriously, it sucks right now, wanting to order the doors straight away, but not knowing which ones to get, because i dont want to buy some that dont even fit.

            um just a thought about the carbon doors, they wouldnt have any side impact protection built into them would they?

            If you daily drive your car, IMO ud be mad to put those in.

                  Easy fix for side impact protection until i get my full roll cage.




                  And Carbon can be 3 to 7 times stronger than steel, so the body ridgitity will only improve with this and the side bar.

                  HELLO TO JINGS OR ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE!!! Still waiting on info on your doors

                    well i was in the process of writing a nice response to your email but i have abandoned such thoughts. Just remember help from members on this forum is a privilege not a right.

                    Also if you had studied my pictures your questions would be self explanatory

                          read the thread yourself..

                          This Thread starter first post doesnt even have TEChnical question yet alone anything technical to begin with at most it deserves to be in general automotive and or Apearance even lounge.

                          even Jing doesnt want to answer it.. go figure..

                            So then maybe if you suggested to move it to general automotive instead of bitching and whining about it being a topic turning this in to OzHonda would be a better approach on your end?

                              if anything - it is YOUR post that makes it seem like ozhonda...

                              as you can tell from my first post in this thread, i have nothing to say on this subject, and i saw no need to move the thread.
