Just been looking at a set of Carbon Fibre door cards from monstermodz what's the general view on these? tacky or good?

 

Your views please.

100 quid a side, look ok in pics, does say pro fitting advised, and prob rattle a bit. nice finish though

nice standard of finish though, prob for track cars would be ok, cover up edges and light, not my cup of tea though, no good for spl!

 

The stock door cards weight almost nothing to begin with, with all the resin needed I wouldn't be surprised if the CF ones were heavier. The weight in the doors comes from the frame, the window and the window mechanism & motor.

 

Stupid mod IMO, wasting hundreds of pounds on something that looks tacky and has no performance benefit. Same could be said for a lot of mods though!

Haha, you have to be kidding! It's not a McLaren / Zondo supercar, it's a old Japanese GT cruiser...

 

Tacky and pointless.

 

Exactly, and not many people are going to see the benefit of the ULTRA lightweight doors given the fact they have got the rest of an interior in. It is almost Need4Speed style stuff IMHO.

I agree

 

We should start a thread on the WORST mod you have put on you car and how much it cost :)

WIll it just be on the doors Nick? or the dash etc too? Unless the quality is absolutley spot on its easy for it to look a bit tacky. Then theres the issue of do you put carbon anywhere else and where do you stop without it looking like its had a long stay at halfrauds??? ;) lol

 

Its whatever you feel is right at the end of the day.

 

Wouldnt that money be better spent on engine and suspension mods? that 700 could go a good way to a nice set of coilovers :D

 

Lxx
