Replacing OEM doors, any tips advice?
 

Hey guys, I've had the seibon doors in my garage for over 2 weeks now. Everywhere I go it's between 350-400 dollars for labor to have them installed. My buddy and I are thinking we'll do it ourselves since LI finally gets some nice weather this weekend. Any tips or advice? We're both literate mech guys but this is a bit more than installing an exhaust. All info is appreciated :tiphat:.

You'll have to transfer all of the crap from one to the next. Doesn't sound like much fun to me. Especially the window components.

Just make sure everything lines up and all the holes are there..

the seibon door looks like it has all the necessary holes pre drilled

can you post some pics?

sure, if I end up doing it myself, I'll post all info and pics that go along with the job

No I mean just of the doors :) You can never get good pics from Seibon

i'd also be spooked of their pre-drilled holes, considering the fun some have had installing their hoods...

I wussed out, I have to write a brief this weekend, can't dedicate my full time to both, found a highly recommended ship that gave a great price so i might drop it off tomorrow, I'll get pics of the doors as soon as I can

Now for the hatch and b-pillars! (since you don't want overlays)

yes yes, hatch and b-pillars are next, after the clutch and flywheel I need to let this engine free up. Dynoing on a dynojet on the 21st, nothing but test pipes thus far.

I've seen the hood and hatch on this forum, anyone know who had it??

Edit: looks good Phelan how much did the parts run you?

i'll PM you

holy **** bladez, honestly, that car is gonna look weird with the rear qtr panel the last thing NOT in carbon....

oh and a pillars too. you got plans for those??

A kick *** setup would have been to just have no door handles at all, just the keyless entry button that would pop the door open. Now that would be trick.

The roof will still be metal too
