Those door covers look amazing from TRD I wasn't aware of them. I weighted the stock door panels and they came in at a hefty 6lbs each. A forum member had those alumimun ones but fitment was spotty im going to pass. |

14R front bumper = much want
Those door panels ![]() I have been thinking about carbon fiber doors. But in order to do so I would want door bars. Which bring my weight lost from the door right back up. Maybe one day.

As for 14R front bumper, it's full dry carbon fiber, so it's light and strong. It comes w it's own lil front splitter thing that look sweet. Sad part is its a set w fender due to 25mm wide (not sure that's a total or each side). But poor person like me, can't fork out $15k ![]() |

Those TRD cf panels are looking extra tasty, but damn, no elbow rest. I use the side elbow rest so much while driving that there's a distinct mark on mine...
Also kind of surprised that the weight difference between the TRD cf and stock panel isn't large enough to justify that insane price tag |

TOday is ALIEXpress Mod day. Had radiator hose kit and some emblems dirt cheap from aliexpress that have been laying around awhile.
Used all the big hoses skipped a few small ones that would've been a bigger PIA. They say STI, I have a Toyota owell there were like $25 shipped and they are red. ![]() ![]() The internal diameter was too big anyway as I tried them on the TB lines, So I used it for the oil pump hose. They did supply the 4" hose next to that but would be a pain without removing stuff that looked like would need a gasket ![]() Also got some TRD badges. They are metal which is good ![]() ![]() |

This going to be about 2 mods done at once.
1. Mustang 3rd Brake light Relocation. Instructions found here https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72225 The only thing I did diffrent was create my own shelf cover from coroplast and carpet. - Saved .5lbs I also think it looks better nice and smooth 2. Carbon FIber plate to fill rear seat hole. This was done on the TRD Griffon although it was hard to find exactly what they did. THis only added .5 lbs over my coroplast/carpet. This however should add structral rigidity to that hole which is the main purporse plus I think it looks Sick! So the Shelf first ![]() weights ![]() Stock shelf weight ![]() Had to relocate the keyless entry computer from off the rear shelf ![]() NOW onto the CF PLate this took the most time to cut and get right ![]() OLD plate and some of the plastic removed that was no longer needed ![]() Used rivnuts for the top bolts (TItanium BOlts)! rivets for the bottom ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I will post more pics later today with the rest of the interior installed. THinking of making a diffrent plate for the bottom seat area. |

Ive taken all panels off since this week I will be taking on my most difficult project to date. Dropping the Tranny to install and LW FLywheel!! Front plates starting on bottom ![]() Back to front ![]() Small burn where rear Resonator on catback is touching ![]() Biggest melt through is where its up against the front pipe ![]() ![]() As you can see not bad at all. Do keep in mind in most areas I have a 1/2" between the panels and body which gives it a little space. |
