Wow, this is kickass. This would be 4 panels, one for each door and one for the rear under the quarter glass for coupes, correct?

[redmist]

Count me as a definite.

assuming these aren't reinforced and only for racing use?

Wow. I think it's a fuhraze mod if you don't have a dedicated track car, but I'm still listensing.

Have you set this up yet? Most are going to want to be able to pay the supplier directly vs giving money over to someone who just signed up on the forum. Just saying.

Are they going to be shipped from the factory straight to us? Or will they all be shipped to you or someone else in the US to be shipped again from that point?

[flipper325es]

Count me as a definite.

Great!!

Would you want the rear-quarter trims too? Or just the front panels? See my previous post.

Reinforced with or for what? The door panels in our cars already are that thin fiberboard type stuff.

They have both race and street versions, pre-drilled to order:

1) Street: slightly larger, covering whole door (2-door only):

2) Race 1: 1.5 mm thickness

3) Race 2: 0.8 mm thickness

1.5 mm (0.060") carbon fiber is much stronger than the stock cardboard panel. Of course, it's no substitute for a roll cage.

Not yet. I just posted on several forums, trying to gauge the interest. I have no problem with folks paying the manufacturer directly -- in fact, I'd prefer it.

The panels will be shipped bundled from the factory to my employer's division in the UK, then to the US on one of our pallets. This will save a ton on trans-Atlantic shipping. I will then ship them out within the US. My FedEx rates are lower than even USPS.

Put me down for the "Race" 1.5mm, front panels, with a cutout for the release handle and upper door pull hole. Also for the fastener kit and leather door straps.

You got it! :D

[flipper325es]

OK, that's what we have so far:

1. flipper325es -- 1.5 mm Race
2. redmist -- 1.5 mm Race (I assume - TBC)
3. whiltebeitel -- 1.5 mm Race
4.
5.

Oh ballls... i thought he ment the body panel... not door cards! Disregard my previous question.

What is a realistic delivery time after the order has been placed and paid for?

I'm interested in this as well.
