Looks nice to me (except that pad looks strange - better without it). Price is for a pair too.

Dont need lump and space for speakers they weigh too much.
Dont want the white padding.

Want the actual weight down to the last gram.
Want matching CF door handle.

If it was more flat and thin can fit wider sports bucket seats.

DG stuff is too superflous, I wish it was much simpler. They also made the NB console in cf but it looks like a spaceship!

Wun,
What you really want is a USD$1800 Axis Racing CF door! :mrgreen:

Then a sheet of CF on the inside and a strap for a door handle. :wink:

I always wanted the scuff plates to be made out of CF but I dont know if they are very scratch resistant????

The CF hard top in that link would be nice.

Wun,
CF scuff plates are nice but are not going to decrease weight much. Similarly, having a hardtop is still extra weight. :mrgreen:

GV make CF scuff plates. but if you were smart you would just rid them off anyway cause it saves weight.
