    unless you are running a full cage with door bars you really shouldn't have carbon fiber door panels. Think about it, if you got t-boned on the driver side what is there to protect you?

    He said door panels not doors !!! What the hell would oem plastic door panels protect in a t-bone crash either.

    Unless the OP meant carbon fiber doors, but door panels means door panels the inner part not the door just my .02


    Then again what do I know right

    There is/was a set of carbon door panels off the old Skunk2 EP3 I believe. They were for sale here briefly, but don't know where they ended up. Nice looking pieces. MoonSi has some sick door panels as well...

    The door panels were NOT custom made by Skunk2. FOR THE LAST F'ING TIME.....SKUNK2 HAS NEVER MADE or had made ANY EP3 AERO or BODY PARTS!!! EVAR DAMMIT!!!!

    So stop MAKING SHIT UP and repeating hearsay!!

    Their body kit on Skunk2's matte black Ep3 was produced by JAS Italy through Tracy Sports of Japan.

    References....
    http://www.tracysports.net/products-ep3.html

    The door panels USED to be available through Taitec of Japan, who is notorious for their NSX carbon fiber body panels. I emailed them after seeing the the panels listed on a Japanese Ep3 website with contact info and a link to Taitec. It was say circa 2006 and I never received a reply back. I still have the email as well.......yama-tracy@mub.biglobe.ne.jp

    Rumor also had it that those door panels were created by JAS Italy for the Ep3's racing in the BTCC series. That is HEARSAY, I do not know that for the truth. But, the above info about Taitec is 100% accurate.
