Seibon Cf Doors?

I've been going back and forth on the idea of carbon doors on my 33 and still can't make a decision. So I'm asking for opinions. The car is white. I have a Seibon cf hood and cf exhaust shield as of now. Wanting to add cf pillars and a full cf GTR wing soon. Putting doors on too much contrast? I've always wanted to build a storm trooper theme. Really don't care that much about saving weight for this project. I'm one of those guys that is absolutely addicted to carbon. I guess the it's the idea of being strong and lighter than steel. I have 18" silver BBS wheels as of now which I'm planning to replace with staggered offset black TE37 Volks. So too much on the doors? Not sure about doing a cf boot lid either. Thoughts?

You could use white vinyl on the cf doors to break up the hardline of them on a white car...

I love cf but getting doors just for cosmetics is a bit far to go for myself. Ive have alot of parts in cf but would only do bonnet doors and bootlid if they were full cf not just cf overlay...

If i did cf doors id want cf door cards too to complete it.

Not sure if I can picture how to run the vinyl down the doors to make it look descent.

All the cf overlays I've seen look cheap and not the part. I did see the kits to overlay real cf sheets over and resin over it. Looks great but seems a lot of trouble. In my head, buy the ready made part.

I agree on over the top just for cosmetics especially when doors aren't cheap. That's what I'm debating. If I get them, will they bring the car together or overwhelm it. If the doors don't do what I want, I'm out the money and selling them cheap to recoup the money. Lol. Sounds ridiculous but it's the risk I've been debating. Wish I could get a set to "try" out.

Thanks for your input!

In the next week I will. The car has been under the knife cutting out cancer (rust). post-116132-13925966641005_thumb.jpg

Had a SAU member send me a back half to get it done. The rear frame rails, rear floor, and quarter panels were infected really bad. This pic is about 2-3 weeks old. I'm almost done and about to paint in a week or so. When I'm done, I'll pm a pic. I'm lousy on Photoshop.

Do it! If you don't like it, get it painted on the outside, so when you open your doors, chicks see the carbon fibre > bam panties off (I'm kidding).

But seriously, get them. Even if you don't like them, you'll have maximum respect points.

I thought of just painting them. Anyone know if they fit well or is there a lot of work to install them? I can work fiberglass not cf.

Seibons stuff is usually a pretty good fit given the price, should just be a matter of removing parts u need from original doors and bolting them up to the new ones.

I would suggest also getting the carbon inner door skins aswell if your going to do it

Thanks for the encouragement. Talked with the body guy today and he'd said it shouldn't be a big deal. He hasn't done cf doors himself but he was gonna call a friend to come help from a local drift shop that has. So... Gonna order some. If it's too crazy, paint them white.

Yeah, saw the front guards/fenders but the ones I saw were widebody"ish". Kinda look funny if you don't flare the rear. If you see stock looking fronts for a GTST let me know!

Well, they're GTR fenders. GTR fenders are flared more than GTST which is what my car is. So not extremely wide but wider than stock which might look funny when you look from front to back head on.

I actually really like the slim look of the GTST. To me it looks like the car flows better thru body lines. Also if you look at wide body rears, the gas lid is recessed in. I haven't seen anyone make the gas lid flow with the rear quarter yet. Also most are kinda "blocky" compared to the rest of the curvy car. I'm super picky with cosmetics. It's the small details that no one knows about that catches my eye. The hood I have from Seibon is borderline perfect. The lips coming up from the vents I feel are to tall. Could of cut them down a little so it's not "LOOK AT ME!"

      Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
