Red Carbon Fiber door panels - Page 2 - LotusTalk

If you could do both door panels in matte black for $500 I would buy them today!

Group buy perhaps?

Oh, any weight savings?...

do you vacuum bag the carbon on there? or just lay it by hand?

Funny, I was just wondering if this type of coloring could be done with CF. How is it done? Looks killer! Love the matte finish too.

1. Cost?
2. Can I get it in LRG instead of red?

The carbon fiber cloth comes in several different colors - I've seen regular black, red and yellow.

Lotus-Position · 09-24-2008, 02:02 PM

Didn't know that, thanks.

Just did a little search and found various colors including green: CARBON FIBER - GRAPHITE - KEVLAR

Interested in the door panels with a gloss finish.

Very nice craftsmanship. One of the nicest Lotus interiors I have seen.
