Carbon Fiber door panels GB install

[Under_Pressure]

Well I got the bolts today and went at it.

The mounting kit looks like this







They need to be inserted from the back till the face is out:



The rear should look like this



You have a couple options on were to place them I did the following





Drill out the holes then install and you get this









Fitment is pretty nice but theres one thing I do not like at all:





Its not pleasing to see this but o well I guess this only happens on the street kit and not the race.

Heres the oshitbar moked up for reference



I think Im going to come up with something else for now it stays.

Install was very easy a cavman can do it

Just a thought:

Why not cut a stock door panel for a fill piece? Basically keep the section from the top where it clips on at the window, down to where the new panel starts.

^ actually that sounds like a pretty good idea. Would take care of the gap problem, plus if u ever rested your arm on the sill it would be all edged like that.

Ok ya I like that idea! I was looking at the door card and looks easy. Ill wrap it in suede or somthing else. Thx

Nice work! Looks like the upper corner is a little tweaked though from the factory door panel pushing in on the CF panel. Perhaps you can add some foam/fiberglass to reshape that area to make it fit nice before you recover it in suede.

I am contemplating a similar approach with mine though I am reluctant to cut up my door cards, I hope to fabricate something to replicate it.

I am also considering something like this:

to trim around the edges and clean it up a bit. Again, this is just a mental exercise. I am overseas and have yet to see the panels in person, just pictures my wife took. Likewise the car is in a barn getting painted so it probably won't be until January before I can try it out.

But I thought I would throw it out there...

You can get tan door cards for dirt cheap or free, chop the bottom off, then wrap in black suede/vinyl.





I personally wouldn't put the oh shit handle on, why not just a strap where the one hole is instead?
