So had anyone bought Carbon Fiber doors for your rx8?

The problem with a lot of this stuff is that the car is basically designed to crumple and shatter when it is hit.
All this stuff is FAR stronger than any of the stock parts, which means instead of the door crumpling when you are hit it will basically come and smack you right in the side, or the CF hood might become a giant razorblade in a collision and end up decapitating you... etc... not pretty...

Turbo, aren't you the guy who was speeding home to play your newly aquired video game. And you didn't pull over for the cop and got charged with 5 different violations and got off because the officer was fired? Then later got in trouble for street racing??

Also, measuring how strong / tough something is, is actually rather difficult.
There are different types of stresses that any material experiences, and they react differently to each one.

If strong how strong compared to metal? If it's cheap, I assume it's basically brittle like plastic or FG?
