    I'm planning to fabricate OEM style carbon fiber door panels, made with a mold and full carbon pieces.
    Just checking if there would be interest from others in purchasing these as they can't be separately bought by Ferrari.
    Below picture for reference.

    The 550 is such a heavy car. Granted it is a GT. I wonder what it would be like lightened? My old 348 lightened and turned into a racecar was just fantastic when light even with a stock motor.

    Have you thought about a whole carbon door panel? The one pictured looks cool. I'd be interested to see what you come up with.

    I've always thought how great it would be to recreate a 550 (GTO/TDF). It's a bit harder for me to imagine it the same way as the newer cars though.

    It's more to recreate the carbon pack, a full carbon door panel will save you some weight as well but I think there are things that can loose you more weight easier like a lithium battery, floating disc rotors, inconel exhaust for example.
