What sources do we have for good value 996 carbon doors and hood? I know that Techart do them etc but looking for better value than that. I am building a road/race car so perfect quality is not necessary. Any used items out there?

 

I think The Racers Group in Sonoma California can help you. If I'm not mistaken they did a buddy's car there -

 

if i remember correctly MAshaw makes CF parts... doors, fenders, etc... Oh and Joe (02barebones996) can recommend a place that sells decent hoods at a cheap price (carbonfiberone)

Just be careful, most places sell Carbon Fiber products which are just a Carbon Fiber overlay, basically the structure is Fiberglass, make sure you ask the question.

 

FAT-911: good point. do you know anyone who makes tru CF pieces...you're not refering to dry carbon are you? because to the best of my knowledge, cost increases exponentially when ur dealin with that stuf.

 

Best source is Porsche motorsports and racer's group. I have parts from both source on my GT3. The factory parts are as good as metal in fit, finish and tolerances but not cheap. The CF doors require a cage as you probably know, best source again is Porsche motorsports. When you get down to 2700lbs with a 415hp car ... its pure sex.

 

You have a PM

 

go to www.versusmotorsports.com they have hoods its under their carbon one line

 

Thanks guys - I appreciate the help.
