      This was a one-time deal for me, but the factory can do group buys at any time. Someone will just have to organize it. :)

      Sorry for not responding directly to your earlier post. At that time, several folks asked essentially the same question about Street panel mods, especially if you wanted to have the pad as in the factory pic. There were a number of posts on that from me and other members. Of course if the factory link wasn't working for you, and you couldn't see the details, that wouldn't be much help.

      Sometimes the factory web site is down (probably maintenance), but I just checked again, and it's working fine:




      If you'd like to place an order as part of this GB, PM me and we can discuss options.

        In lieu of the spreadsheet, here is the shipping payment status. Of the 9 folks in the bulk shipment (aside from me), 7 have sent payments. I have PM'd the other two, and should get their payments shortly.

        The main unknown is how quickly the shipment clears US Customs. My estimate for delivery is Thursday or Friday, but we'll just have to wait and see.

                      got the fronts on anyway. look pretty good and the holes for the opener and winder were pretty much spot on.





                      possible issue with the rears though. they dont fit on as they dont have a hole cut for the seatbelt rail at the bottom of the door. not a problem for me as im going for harnesses before the summer so ill just leave the rears on the shelf till then. i can see it being an issue for other folks though. a quick look tonight showed it needed a hole cut and possibly a spacer behind to stop it cracking when you tighten the rail bolt or cut the corner off the cf panel. clearly they were not made for anyone intending to use the standard belts.

                      still good quality though and im pleased with them.

                        Thanks for the pics, Nick! That's the same config I'm getting for my track car. Did you use their fastener kits to attach the panels? Or something else?

                        Yeah, their stuff was designed for track cars. They are interested in expanding their business, and I had several conversations with them about making parts for stock cars, such as full 3D door panels that are formed, rather than cut from CF sheets. We also talked about hoods (bonnets for you :p) and trunks lids, in both race (pins) and street (OE brackets) versions.

                        Good quality E30 CF hoods in the US are $600-$700, with flimsy ones going for $400-$500. These guys know what they are doing, and have nice equipment. If they can make good hoods for under $500, there may be a market, even with shipping. Especially with a group buy. ;)

                          CF hood would be pretty wonderful.

                                Another Request

                                I don't know how I missed this one. Can I still join to this GB? I need one set for the front doors (2 door car). Let me know how do I make payment.

                                Thanks
