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

    Hello internet friends,

    This is me... I source, design, and build my own racecar parts.



    These are my carbon fiber doors for "Because Racecars"





    Thanks to Erron for the door curls (Sexy Barker Beauty)!













    Combined weight is 25.4lbs for both doors.

    They're OEM fittment. Even the lower door cards.

    Information regarding these doors will only be available at 3sgto.org.

    There's a gauging interest thread in the Classifieds Section for registered users of this site.

    Possibly, one more run and then they're done?

    We'll be posting up installation information and fittment for these doors shortly!


    Jeremy

    I have a set of OEM doors with panels, glass, speakers and all OEM components. I've a second set that's "because racecar". Only thing on them is the inner and outer skin, hinges, latch/strike, handles/locks, and intrusion claws. The door bars, glass, controls, wiring, and etc have been removed entirely. I'll weigh both styles tomorrow when I drop these off at the shop.

    I want to say the OEM doors weigh damn near 100lbs ea.? Stripped doors might weigh 50lbs ea.? I'll report back with the results.

    Less than 13lbs per door is outrageous. I guess the downside is less energy absorption. Ideal when u r literally racing & have cage.

    You know... Those look pretty good. You should consider making parts for more high end cars, the amount of vendors out there is slim, and they charge an arm and a leg for even the tiniest little pieces. Check out MA Carbon and see what their prices are on some stuff, it's insane.
