3000gt / Stealth Carbon Fiber Doors for "Because Racecars!"

[J. Fast]

Ohh these are badass! Look at the reveals and the alignment!













Epoxy setting the mounting hardware and reinforcing the door catch and hinges.






Enough for today... Merry Christmas!

They're pretty sweet!
I'll get mine swapped out after Christmas.

I laugh because these are the "hard to get" parts for our cars and Jer was driving around with 3 sets in the back of his truck. Should've given you a Santa hat!

I weighed 3 sets of doors today.

1st set, OEM... nothing removed. 94lbs each. Total weight = 188lbs




2nd set, OEM... Because Racecar. 49lbs each (52 w/mirrors). Total weight = 104lbs





3rd set, Carbon Fiber... Installed w/locks, strikes, hinges, and handles. 19lbs each Total weight = 38lbs.

How do you think these would hold up with possible daily use? Or weekend warrior use? Like being opened and closed over and over again?

Also, how much does the glass weigh for the doors?

I just wanted to say bravo for making these. These look like they are of amazing quality. I am very impressed. Can't wait to see what your car is capable of J Fast. You are always posting threads that make me want to go out and drive my 3000 around.

I got one done yesterday. This is not a quick job to say the least. I transferred over the handle, lock, inside handle both window guides, the weather stripping, the corner piece, the window motor and rail as well as the lower outer card. Total time was about 5 hours to set it all perfectly. The door opens and closes just like a stock door but considerably lighter. There's obviously movement in the door due it's flexibility but only with the window up and door open. Door closed and it's rock solid when the window is up or down. The only holes that come ready to go are the hinge holes but these are perfect, bolted right on. The other 64 holes you have to drill yourself. Really cool! I'll tackle the driver door in a few days. Should go much faster since now I know what I'm doing.
