The carbon fiber doors from Seibon save a crap load of weight however fitment isn't the best -- I would recommend the a carbon fiber trunk over doors

ORIGINAL: CroDalmatinac

Better to put your money towards the CF doors, or even the trunk lid. More weight is saved.

I think you will like it.

I get A LOT of double takes with mine. Its a non stop staring contest. I love it though, its something you dont see too much on a mustang.

Daniel, CF hoods can look 'weird', but not ricey. Its all in your taste. One thing I gotta be honest about is that tungsten scoop would not look good on a CF hood... I think putting the hood only on would look clean and mean.

Thanks for posting the pic tnstang06. I always wondered what that model Seibon looked like on car. Pretty wild looking. People do check out the carbon hoods, I get looks and comments all the time. A guy at the gas station the other night asked me "is that some custom job?" lol!

The doors do save a lot of weight. I've heard over 300lbs. But the power windows don't work with them and I wouldn't want to experience a t-bone crash with only that between myself and the other car [].

Here's a pic of my car/hood. It really didn't save any weight over the stock one. I swapped them both out by myself. They're both really lightweight.
