Added New Carbon Fiber Door Sills - at least 500hp

I got these new Downforce Carbon Fiber door sills for my car so installed them. Popped off the "Turbo" ones and these fit in place. Real carbon fiber, lightweight, and they must add at least 500 ponies Anyways, they were a sample to show off. I dig it!

How is the fit and finish of them?

500hp for how much? Looks good, but Dan time to get some seats!

All that power, you need some light weight racing seats!

Have to agree with this statement.A liitle off topic but I made a prototype sideskirt for the NSX and they ran with it(with my permission) !
Customers who bought the sideskirts all agreed that the fitment was amazing,right out of the box,so I would expect the same for any other parts they build.
From the sounds of it they have hooked themselves up good with Vivid Racing,good for the both of them !
Wish Peter and the rest of the downforce crew all the best !

oh snap... your saying I have 1000hp! Wowzers.

Downforce makes awesome NSX parts. Do a good search on Downforce carbon. The fit and finish is beautiful. No sanding, bowed edges, just double tape and go. Coming from the JDM world, I see alot of carbon parts, these are definitely good.

They dont come with the Turbo logo, however, Vivid Racing has a 24" sticker plotter and if you want, I can cut the word Turbo like on the OEM ones in any color and send with them.

On to the seats comment. When I had my 996C2 I had the GT3 seats. They are cool for racing, but for driving all the time, I hated it. Plus from way to much snowboarding, skating, and now dirt bikes, I have old man back. I like my bus seats alot heated, electric, and have memory which I have never used once in my life. Maybe I will hit Status up for a pair of leather Laguana FIA approved seats to take to TX2K8
