i bought some doors from them, they're badass, direct bolt-in and all your accessories can still go in to, like power windows, its a easy way to save weight, for sure, and if your tryin to shave your handles off, its already done, and you dont have to worry bout it crackin. which is why i bought them, because my stock doors keep crackin. they only thing is i wanted cf but they charge way to much for it...........i am thinkin about gettin the hatch next

How did you order? Just call them up and say I want this and this, give them your credit card number and they ship it to you?

i have bought alot of parts from him for my bike and car.. 1 the doors are for off road use only.. you can't put in a regular window its for a straight race car nothin else. that is how it is for the 2g . he has a dash to that is only for a race car.. the doors aren't skinz there actually a whole new door 1 peice.. i have the hatch and fenders.. his quality is top notch i would compare him to carbonwerks as far as quality.. he doesn't have the parts just laying around so if you order soemthin be ready to wait. espically now with it being bike season your best bet is to order soemthin late AUG.

there is no such thing as cant.................. i havent put my doors on yet but, we are putting windows in, the door has a inside panel, all you have to do is make a bracket for everything and a plate that will hold the weight of the window, and brackets, and yes they ae for off road use, but my car isnt off road only yet, it will be on the street, its all on the chances you will take, if you get hit there is nothing to protect you thats for sure, all i will have is the side bar on the cage to protect me, but thats a chance i will take, but if you can fabricate, you an put everything back on those doors, and this winter i WILL use the dash also, there is no reason y it cant be used in your car on the street, i will post pics as soon as mine are done, jsut to show how to do it................

How do you take the window out of the stock door? It looks like it's trapped.

I see many people driving classic cars on the street. Those things have no protection whatsoever. It should be ok. I think I'm going to get the doors, as soon as I figure out the window thing, and what about the door handle?

 

[n2orbit]

his dash isn't a carbon fiber 2g dash it looks like a striped version .. like somethin like a nascar has..

just dont use a door handle, get a door popper solinoid kit, then you dont need handles, just push a button and the door pops open, thats what i have on my stock doors right now, cuz i dont have handles on them either

squid = motorcycle guy who does wheelies and endos and shit all the time
squid skinz = body pieces for squids who lay over their bikes and screw up the ones they have
cagers = us

Where did you mount the button? Got pics? Also, what about the latch/locking mechanism, that just bolts right into the squidskins door?

ditto, I want their CF hood and hatch for my 95. Hell I got rid of a/c, ps and all that other wieght, Might as sell get some CF on the top.

Does the stock window fit perfect in the rear hatch? How about hatch struts and hinges?

you can put the button anywhere you ant, i didnt use the button, i used a thing called tap-loc from auto-loc, you just tap on the window and the door pops open, but you tap in a code that you program and you can change it when ever you want, cuz anyone can get in your car when you have that button they just have to know where it is, i can get you some pics of the tap loc kit itself, and i have another one that i am willing to sell, but you can check out my doors on my car in my gallery, my car is under alot of construction, but you can still see that there are no handles

nah the rear window dont just fit right in, like n2orbit said its made for race use only, and i am pretty sure the hatch is made for lexan windows that you rivet in, but you can do it with a lil modification like i am doin with the doors, nothin is impossible

 

[n2orbit]

yea i have a lexan window the whole think weighs in around 12-14 lbs
