actually i'd take the cf door in a side impact over a steel door any day. why do you think F1 cars are completely made of cf? they are designed in such a way that the cf absorbs the impact. if laid properly it can be stronger than just about any other material out there.

i have about 5 yards of cf and a 5 gallon pail of resin. i hope to be making a mould in the summer to make a cf moon roof for my crx. if it turns out good it could me a new product for me. :D

I like CF, especially if it is quality stuff. My buddy has a Fiber Images hood that is extremely light, you can pick it up from the latch with your pinky finger. I think it might weigh about 11 or 12 lbs. I dunno, certain body kits and comsmetic pieces I like, others I don't. I don't like any thing that is extreme or over the top. On the same token, I like a really clean or JDM looking car too, I think it just depends how it is all put together. That's just me though :-\

Looking at the pictures I wasn't sure if the inside was completely CF or Fiberglass :-\ Also F1 cars have full roll cages which will protect the driver. More than likely some nut just bolting these onto a street car and getting into a side impact could be at risk for serious injury. I doubt these doors were built with a serious impact in mind. How many C.F. hoods out there have you seen break? And alot of them were top quality :-\ It just makes me a little nervouse.

How cool would I be on Honda-Tech if I had a carbon fiber hood, mirrors, fenders, bumpers, doors, and trunk lid? :D
