Loudcivic Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 this would be your best bet if you wanted it to look like the hood and trunk. they are expensive but will give you the same look like you want http://www.carbodykitstore.com/index.php?cPath=29_87_3506 2015 silverado crew cab nothing atm but soon...

mbdblue Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 hey there am a new member that is seeking some help lol i am planing on hooking my lancer evolution '08 with a seibon carbon fiber hood and trunk then i want to wrap my doors with some carbon fiber wrap, but i want something that looks like the hood and the trunk this is a sample of the hood trunk most of the wraps i so are matte they dont have the gloss hope you people can help me actual carbon fiber, or a decal of carbon fiber? IMO, I wouldnt wrap your metal doors with a carbon fiber overlay. just a matter of time till it seperates from the door skin. especially doors. there so thin that the metal expands and contracts like crazy in the summer. the only way I would even attempt it would be if you have fiberglass doors. then it wouldnt be difficult. and the gloss you see is usually the epoxy resin they use to seal the fiber. other than that, if your talking about a decal, you may not find one that matches the glossiness of the hood or trunk since the resin gives it that real deep look. edit: or you can do what loudcivic has and outright buy the doors in CF...and chris, some companies are cheap so they will make the hood out of glass and overlay it with carbon fiber. that way the hood wont end up being a shitload of money cuz CF aint cheap.

CF doors aren't just for looks..And you better have some power to back up your looks or you're going to get a lot of negative input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpanels Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 You could put down a 3d carbon fiber sticker, and then clear it and it would be shinny or even re-clear the bonnet boot and stickers to all match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumpinTL364 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 might you want to try to paint ur doors so they look like carbon fiber? you could just spray black and then a silver that matches the silver in ur hood and trunk CF and use a big checkerboard mask to create the same effect masterbation is free, and even saves you money.sorry but someone had to say itsorry, Jimmy...beat you to it (no pun intended) LOLDON'T get a wife.

KAPONE.SS Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 You would probably have more luck here (link below). I doubt many people on here have much experience with what you are asking. But if it was me I would use the door skin as a form and then take rigid cf OFF. Then remove the spot welds holding metal door skinn to door frame and replace it with the CF skin. It would be alot of work. But the people on fiberglass forum would probably know best.
