u can vinyl or roof cap...

but i guess you'd have to vinyl the rear quarter.

You should have gotten a black car. It wouldn't have been as noticeable. Example:

it might not be noticeable in pictures but in person trust me its as noticeable as black/white. I think it looks killer on red, but that's me. Btw I got the car before I got the sponsor for the free cf that I have installed thus far.

Hope the fit on it is good.

Hats off to Nissan engineering and my best friend who hopefully will come on this board. The doors install was a breeze. It took a bit to figure out the first door but it really wasn't that hard. The whole assembly is basically 4 pieces, the window, the door shell, the regulator & window track all as one easy piece, and the doors handles. I can't believe shops wanted around $400 dollars. Windows roll up easily and perfectly, no whistles, howling, or rattling of any kind.

I've heard they don't allow that at the track for safety reasons

I'd be surprised if they allow CF doors with no crash structure without a full cage. Drag strip they don't care but tech at other tracks can be much stricter.
