There is also these- I inquired about them, but very pricey and don't feel like spending that kinda of money on door cards. One is a direct replacement for the e46, the other is a universal one. They also have direct replacements for the e9x series as well.

The other thing they have is a CF rear deck to make it a lot prettier lol. Would be nice to pair it with the CF door panels.

Thanks Mantii, that will help. Do they have something on the driver's side for the mirror switch? Not that I need it, but still. $370 is a lot.

$370 is a lot for door panels? Sounds cheap to me. What do you think it costs to develop and produce something like that in low volume?

Compared to running without any or bending up some aluminum in place. I'm not talking about their cost, I'm talking about mine. That's a set of takeoffs

Had a great day Sunday @ Thunderhill East(bypass), my first time there. Started off in low-intermediate but found way too much traffic and a lot of inconsistent/dangerous point-bys. Moved to high-intermediate and found much better awareness and less traffic.

Ran a 2:10.08 which would have been 2nd fastest in the list of times they posted for the group. I'm thinking I should continue in high intermediate, that's the right move, right? I changed my registration for T-Hill west on 3/10 to high int, as I'm more confident running in that group now.

scotty_miller · 02-27-2018, 05:35 PM

I made my door panels for 60 bucks and 2 hours of my time out of .093 abs black textured sheets. Didn't turn out all that bad I think .... 370 for some plastic get real lol

Why are there areas that are not painted red? All the spots covered by sound deadening in my car are painted.

Also, does that center console wobble around? I need cup holders, but I didn’t think I could secure the console while lacking carpet.

Mine looked the same as his. I had to rattle can it after removing the deadening. It may have been less obvious on yours with the silver gray.

There's a metal bracket that mounts to the tranny tunnel underneath where the rear ash tray is and then two screws go through that. It's an oem bracket for the euro center console. ECS sells a kit that comes with the console, bracket, and all hardware to keep it in place. It doesn't wobble around at all

Last track day there was a guy that made a splitter in his "wood shop" on his s2k. Looked like the bumper was about to fall off. Looked like some serious downforce or weight

That was at APR creating the template out of cardboard first. They had a bunch of templates already for different lips and I did see the racewerkz version that dogbone mentioned but they weren't a good fit for my lip so I created the 86 special. Lol

They sure feel like they are on there good. Have a autoX event the 10th and then 16th 17th track days so will have a better saying after those. Bit seem like very well made and good quality.

Nice bro! I'm excited to see the final outcome...will they be producing these for others with GT4 lips that want an added splitter?

Looks painted to me?

I would think unpainted areas would look more dull and green, like some areas under the car.
