Any good?
Do u hav dem?

 

if u have money go for, it dont matter what other people think as long as u like it!

 

its hot....make sure the fitment is good tho

 

you get those.. i hope you NEVER get into a car accident or at least make your car a show car cuz i will not sacrifice my life to make my car look "good"

 

What are you trying to do with your car anyways? You've made like 15 posts asking about everything under the sun. Most of those you can just do a search on.

having carbon fiber doors isnt very safe ... once you get hit your pretty much dead ... your car is pretty much a very nice looking coffin if you plan on daily driving that cause you never know if some idiot will t bone you (God forbid) ... so i hope its all for show too ...

 

i wouldn't install them without a rollcage first, and i'm pretty sure cage's for ep3s are hard to come by 'less they're custom.

 

Is that for an EP3, because the DC5 doors are exceptionally light.

 

It should be built like an F1 car chassis. Those things are indestructible.
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by F1Technical &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">F1 teams use carbon fibres, a pre-impregnated epoxy resin and an aluminium honeycomb layer, which is sandwiched between two layers of carbon fibre.
The chassis is usually the first part of the car to be built, due to the amount of time required. The main chassis usually comprises of about 8 parts (panels). The first stage of the manufacturing process is to build a solid (computercut) pattern, from which a mold for the panel is produced. The molds are constructed by laying a total of 10 layers of pre-impregnated (with resin) carbon fibre on top of each pattern to produce the mold. The production of the mold takes place in several stages, involving vacuum treatments, debulking and heating processes. The mold then has to be thoughroughly cleaned and prepared for use.

The next phase is the actual fabrication of a car part, made from sheets of pre-cut, pre-impregnated carbon fibre, which are carefully laid inside the molds. It is thereby vital orientate the carbon fibre sheets in pre determined directions in order to achieve the desired strength. A total of 5 layers of carbon fibre are laid, forming the outer skin of the chassis (to achieve a final, cured thickness of 1mm, a total of 3-4 layers of carbon fibre must be laid down).

The next stage of the process is to cure the carbon fibre in an autoclave. This exposes the carbon fibre to a number of temperature / pressure cycles according to the specific requirements of the materials and components being processed. During this treatment, the resin impregnated in the carbon fibre flows into the surrounding fibres and is activated, thereby curing the carbon fibre. Once the outer skin has been cured and cooled down, a honeyomb layer of aluminium is fixed onto the outer skin by a sheet of resin to ensure the materials stick stongly together. The chassis panel then returns to the autoclave for curing. After having cooled down again, one more layer, consisting of a number of pre-impregnated carbon fibre sheet is placed on top the existing skin, and again treated in the autoclave for a final time.

When the part is completely produced, it is sent to an evaluation department, and when proven good, it can be used for racing.</TD></TR></TABLE>

What he said

 

yep.
haha.
i totally forgot
about the safety.
gotta think next tym,

 

If you honestly are trying to make it a weight saver, there are definitely other options you could do to the door. I will say it does look good though. A whole Carbon Fibre car would look sick but I would honestly have a heart attack driving it anywhere.

I've seen that done! it's UNbelievable how it works!
Yes its SUPPOSED to be EXTREMELY Strong...

but the key in F1 Racing is "THEY TEST IT OVER AND OVER" for safety standards!
Do the do the same for that exact door you want?????

Without knowing, i can "see" both side of the argument,
but I have to chose the side of safety...

 

i would not being using those for a dd. i dont care what research has been done proving the strenth of CF!

 

yeah, TRACK ONLY!... with Roll cage ...and 5 point harness!

then i'd say "GO FOR IT!"

 

it really depends on ur taste too. Do you really wanna pay over a grand to get that cf door? It'll be much lighter but if u just have the door cf, it'll look a little tacky.

 

I think laser cut Styrofoam would be much lighter and cost effective. Your going to be F'd either way driving that daily.
