I'm thinking of going with CF doors but I'm a little concern with safety. I don't plan on driving it crazy, fast and dangerous but just in case type of concern. Will I need to have a rollcage if i go with them CF doors? Also have anyone tried some doors from Ebay? I found a set for $1550 + $80 shipping. Wonder if it's any good as far as quality and fitment.

 

Psh as if our side impact ratings were even remotely good anyway.

 

i think CF stronger than aluminum?

 

get a roll cage...you dont need to worry about being hurt

 

If you're worried about safety, you bought the wrong car in the first place.

LOL.

 

Do you want to get CF doors to lighten the car? If so, the CF doors are heavier. My CF fenders are heavier than my stocker's.

As far as safety:

Are our doors really doing anything to help distribute the impact?

 

I'm not planning to do it to lighten the weight of the car. I plan on doing it since I got side swipe and don't plan on painting it and thought CF would be lighter than OEM. The thing about CF is that if I do it, I might as well replace trunk, fenders, and hood. Do they make front and rear bumper CF? I don't really think it's worth spending thousands of dollars on CF

AznEvoIX - I didn't bought the wrong car. I know well due to extensive research before I bought my Evo. It's just that the CF door don't have a crash beam as compare to OEM door.

 

its not as safe
plus if u want a street driving car
not a weekend track car
dont get the carbon door
dont risk your life

 

First of all CF is stronger than your stock material so saftey should be increased, id be weary of buy some from ebay tho, save up your maoney and get some from a larger name, in the long run itll be worth it, but dont just do the front doors, that be gay, and i hope its black, and as for the rear bumper, they make pretty much everything CF for the evo, you should be set off to your carbon dreamz!!!

 

Carbon Fiber is a stronger material than the stock doors. Imo i dnt thing you should get the cf doors. especially if its your dd.

 

+1

 

Cf doors will just shatter when you get hit rather then absorbing the impact like you stock ones. But hey its your life.

 

haha sme, one of my friend did nothing but carbon fiber modifications to his evo all thats left is his rear quarter panels its pretty bad *** i told him if he got hit by an 18 wheeler he might as well be driving a smart car!

 

yea right, the cf doors are just skin I believe where as stock doors have bracing. Doesn't add much protection but it saved me once already.

 

i belive that the carbon doors from seibon have aluminium bracing, why not custom make bracing tho???
