You're an idiot. He needed new doors. Stop hating on his car lol. If you don't like it, leave. You're not gonna change his mind or convince anyone of anything.

Nice job man. I've been on the fence about raw CF on my own cars but the ones Chaz posted look awesome. Hope yours turns out the way you want it. Good luck with the build.

The Evo X doors are heavy. You can cut out the steel crash bars in the doors but it is hard to do and your car must be caged (or you'll die). Also,it makes the windows, etc inoperperable, which is ok for racing but nothing else.

Losing weight is expensive.

You people coming into a motor build thread and going on and on about carbon fiber and paint really look like *** hats.

Have fun with the car. If you didn't like how it looked you wouldn't have done it.
