      Also, if you only do 1 layer of CF the fiberglass will show through the CF weave

        I really like this, and the single panel door idea(not contoured, but still retains original door handle). The rear decklid would be great, seeing as I'm using a spray painted one just to keep the glare down from sound deadening...


        Go here be happy!

            What would a ballpark price be for these things (splitter and door cards)?
            The first car I ever rode in was an e30

                Im still working on a good technique to make these efficiently but it would be around 200 each, you must remember that It needs to be more than one layer and the door cards are quite large.

                    Sounds reasonable. Also, unlike some of the others I'm not as picky about how aesthetically pleasing it is. As long as it covers most of the door and has a cutout for the stock door handle than its good enough for me.

                        How thick is it? You are not vac bagging, are you?

                                Sorry, I haven't made any progress, I used an entire yard just learning the tricks of the trade to get a nice sturdy product and now I broke, on the bright side I made an indestructible toilet paper roll;)

                                Is there any interest in a lightwieght pin on race trunk?
