Sorry just not familiar with how much they weigh.
The CF weave will look cool (if your into that sort of thing )

But loss of weight is the main goal.

A side benefit will be sound dampening and the improved dent resistance.

i believe UPS will do door to door on this which is better in terms of speed. They will be fully insured.

Greyhound would be a straight shot and 3 days with no handling.

UPS will have several handlings and take 5-7 days. Insurance needed due to fumbling gorilla's.

Not so much.... More going by experience with each. What is UPS's bid for each door so far ? What is Greyhound Express bidding ?

grey hound says ,as per the clerk I spoke with, maximum insurance for each item sent cannot exceed 300 dollars. that was the breaking point. In case something goes wrong with shipping we wont be able to refund everyones money and break even. Im going with UPS because they can insure the doors for its OEM value. If anything aside from speedy door to door delivery we would stand to gain from this.

also when the people at my shop saw me hauling around an extra Z 4 door underneath my hardtop..... and going through the hassle of removing said hardtop just for the door delivery.... they began to ask questions..... this carbon fiber door project is creating quite a stir in my location. by this time next year I expect you would have a website up with the multiple door options for multiple series'. I think their logic was :"well if this guy is willing to do that to his Z 4, it must b legit". if this goes 100 percent according to plan. I think selling doors for you will be quite easy.

I can hear the drum cymbals now !

There's no way I'll have time to open my website with my current work schedule/load.....unless there is a Zpost member willing to take on the task at an incredible discount .

Do we possess such talent here ???? I hope so....but they are probably also buried with work. Writing code is slow going and time consuming as well.

By the way Villa....thanks for handling your end of this. The members will be grateful. MAybe even cut you some Jet-hot slack,lol.
