CF Door panel inserts? - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

A Spec Products · 11-07-2005, 08:11 PM

those cf inserts are pretty hard on S14, even tho interior CF is not my personal taste

flat sheets of stainless are pretty dope too, just like on the Weld S14

I agree it is mostly looks but stock door panels are a little heavy and it is more for clearance with a cage and side bars for me anyway. I dont want to rock the no door panels since I drive the car everyday so its practicallity.

If the CF is "too tacky" for you, Origin-Labs list Carbon Fiber and FRP variants.

Can someone post a working link to the website? Or if not who is a dealer here in the US? I am interested in obtaining this exact thing for my car. Thanks.

oohhh, if you got stainless sheet, and heated parts of it up to make it blue and gold,,, that could be hot

smellslikecurry · 11-10-2005, 07:28 PM

would the carbon fiber be lighter than the stainless???

chmercer · 11-10-2005, 07:49 PM

Yeah carbon is lighter than stainless but it depends on how thick the carbon is and the design the origin carbon might be heavier than an 1/8" stainless sheet but not noticable either way we are only talking a couple of lbs

axiomatik · 11-10-2005, 09:50 PM

1/8" inch would be hella heavy. 1/8" steel sheet is about 5 lbs/sq.ft., that would be like 30 lbs per door.

I wish someone would make a dash, I saw FRP/Carbon Fiber dash stuff in JP but I don't think anyone is making it for USDM cars yet. I don't care if it's carbon fiber or FRP or what, I'm just tired of spending 8 hours to swap a old ass uncracked dash into my car just so it can crack 2 months later. A S15 style dash for the S13 would be awesome..

I'm interested on getting the original-lab CF door panel but would like to know how's the fitment and quality of the product. Does anyone out there would like to share thier experience with this product? pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Normally I'd flame you for bumping a 3yr old thread, but at least you searched first. I'm sure this will get locked, but someone hs too have purchased them by now. Also, are you looking for pics on an a S13 or S14? Good luck.

Jordn · 08-04-2008, 06:31 AM

Carbon fibre is gonna be splinter-tastic if you get t-boned. I got a CF splinter a couple of weeks back as I had some flat carbon sheets I was making doorcards from [until I found the stock card fitted round my s13's doorbars if you take the pockets off]. I swear that shit hurts more than wood splinters.

Jung2 · 08-05-2008, 03:26 AM

Thanks for the heads up about the splinter problem.
I didn't want to start a new thread because I know I'll be flame for sure. I'm looking for S14 picture. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks...

There's a picture of the CF door panel on an S14 on Origin's site...

As for the fitment and quality... Origin is pretty well known for their fitment and quality, so I'm sure its not something you'd have much of an issue with.
