Default carbon doors

hey i was wandering how well these carbon doors fit? is it just the skin of the door it replaces? is it the whole srtucture of the door? i have contacted seibon and they don't respond to email, so i thought i would ask you guys. my options are limited because once again i'm deployed so any info would be good info. basically i was in a small fender bender before deployment with a benz, she only hit my fender just ahead of the driver door (small 6 inch dent). i bought carbon fenders with the ins. check, now i have carbon hardtop, hood, trunk and fenders. thought i would complete the package since i'm gonna repaint the whole car when i get home. oh and my internet access is limited so thanks in advance.

if I am not mistaken Diez or whatever that floridan guy has carbon doors. and as far as i know they are around 8k for the doors. let me pull up the gotuning website and see if they have them on there.

IMO you don't really need the doors but, if you want more powa to ya

Seeing how I installed the doors in tom's car, they fit like a glove. Now Tom's were the ASM doors, so high dollar JDM parts (12K list IIRC). They were light, and fit just like the OEM door did.

The cheaper stuff would simply obliterate in a side impact. Plus, you have to consider medicalstudent doesn't daily the car often.

Oh, I thought it was on the mugen one. In that case, I wouldn't do it period. Diez's car is probably in some storage museum somewhere.
