Seibon doors?

CF doors are really off-road use only. and only if you have a rollcage. im serious. they will shatter like nothing else in an accident. or they wont shatter and they'll be pushed right into the interior of your car and replace you on the drivers seat.
im pretty sure they are much lighter than stock due to the fact they dont have the reinforced crash bars inside them that the stock doors do.

I too have contemplated these of course with the proper safety issues always at hand ,,, heres some photoshop i did as a concept, my car with my SF Challenges blacked out and the rear door carbon to look simular to the Audi R8

depends what materials they're made out of.
If that rear door isn't cf laid over OEM, I would not recommend it.
doubt this stuff is dry carbon so it won't 'replace you in the driver's seat'. lol

CF doors will be cool from a better company than SEIBON, its cheap! Our car is amazing structurally rigid, more than that of most supercars, We don't have a b-pillar, the doors act as that. If you put some cf doors from seibon I doubt it'll have the quality or will be able to keep the structural integrity of the car.

that looks amazing. i dont think VR could pull that off sadly, but it looks really good with tigray. i dont think you need the trunk or hood black though. just the doors and rims, looks really sweet man. thats something i would have never thought of, so instant respect in my book.

Not really the torsional rigidity of our car is very high , I'll try to find the numbers; but from what I remember the rx8 is like 30,000 NM/degree, where as a f430 is 1/2 that. The only cars I remember being more rigid was the veyron, phantom and a few others.
