Feeler: Carbon Fiber Door Panels

[newman]

I was totally out of the loop when this went down. I was not on forums or anything.

Anyway, I'm probably ordering a set today. If someone wants a set and wants to split the shipping, let me know.

Got mine today but there where no holes drilled for the screws???
Do they have a template foir the screws?? Or are they supposed to come with them predrilled?

The door panels only get pre-drilled for the window crank, latch, and door handle (based on what you specified). How you mount them is up to you. A few folks with street cars have used Velcro, not to mar the look. Most others in the GB ordered the fastener kits along with the panels:

I may have a couple of extra kits left over. If you're interested, PM me. May be cheaper than shipping from the UK.

Velcro works like a charm for me. Love 'em.

Yeah I got the fastener kit!
what I meant was is there a template for drilling the holes for the fastener kit?
It can be done without it with patience but I really don't want to screw up the cf panels they are just to sexy ! LOL

One or two? Unless you skip every other hole, one kit (10 fasteners) won't be enough for both panels.

No template from the panel shop. I plan to use an OE door panel as a template (or as a template to make a final template).

Read that you ordered them awhile back and I really like the look, curious to see what you do with them. I need them for my car, the stock door panels stick out too much for the cage

After the GB ended, I've had inquiries from several folks about possible availability of left-over panels. Someone may want to start another GB. With 5 people, you'll get 10% off -- still better than list.

Just don't ask me to do it. :-)
