    On one hand those are totally sweet and cool. On the other hand, you and your door will probably get destroyed being broadsided by a small skooter at moderate speed.

    Unless it's like "real" carbon fiber and not the fiberglass-filled and backed stuff. But if it were "real" carbon fiber the doors would probably cost closer to $3000+ each...

    how will it hold from the vibration caused from the speakers? those looks nice! cause i have aftermarket speakers and if i get those too how do u think it'll hold since it's carbonfiber?

    if u get a scratch it cant be repainted CF

    if the clear coat cracks the weaves look like shit.

    Its not like the MUGEN cf doors where its 100% cf. these are probably like most VIS products where its CF with fiber glass backing. Good for body kits hoods etc but id be too scared to rock em. If u get into an accident ur basically dead. Reason why i wont pimp major CF body panels.

    carbon fiber is cool and all but it's made to be painted not to mention the fact that it'd look laughable if you left it, what do you want people at the mall goin "Oh shit you, he's got all that carbon shit, damn."? if you're doing it for performance you might as well get the full front end and just paint it so none of your shit gets stolen.

    painting them would defeat the purpose of the cf door, since paint adds weight. I would have to see them on your car to say if I like them or not.
