There is no no need for these to be made in dry carbon, people don’t want these for weight savings they want them for the room they will give, and really how much more can normal carbon fiber actually weigh? A couple more ounces?
$1300 dollars is insane for some door panels, you really should make them in a far more affordable material, and the window switch and mirror control location looks like shit and an afterthought

$1300 is ridiculous price for a cut piece like that
we can buy the similar panels for less than $200

Price is not for everyone. These are made of DRY CARBON, Precision CNC cut, Pre preg dry carbon thats made in USA.
Same concept can be seen on custom front Splitters. there are aluminum home depot splitters you can get for $~200, than you can also get a dry carbon splitter for ~$2,000 +

yea, i agree i am in a bit of a shock and scratching my head at who the target audience is. If these are targeted at track guys who care about weight savings; then you missed your mark completely.
It looks like this is catered at show "track inspired" cars that will never see a time.
I was going to make my own last summer, and then you guys released some of your concepts i thought "oh cool" a local shop making some; ill wait.
but just like said by Jaor; i thought these were going to be in a standard carbon and in the 300-500 price range.
There are local SoCal shops whom make them in carbon; with a cutouts of a customers choosing for $300. I wanted to support Evasive; but i dont know who these are aimed at.
If you guys have some feedback if you are planning to make these in a standard carbon, and in a reasonable price range. Then i am sure this part will regain confidence.

It just doesn't make sense to use a more expensive material like dry carbon for this piece. It's not very functional, the weight savings are very minimal, and it's not like it adds any extra structural rigidity. You guys had a lot of interest and could have sold these like crazy, but you turned it into a bragging rights piece. Even if it was the normal glossy carbon, if people wanted to have the "dry carbon" look they can just matte clear it. I'm sure if these were priced $500-$600 people would definitely buy them, even that is a more premium price compared to competitors' $300 range.

Quality looks awesome. Perforation above the speaker is a cool design. Everything looks great. Only gripe would be the placement of the window and mirror controls. Looks really awkward. Like which arm do I use to toggle those switches. Read over with my right? Or scoot over far enough to bend my left. Hm.
