fitment on doors has not had final adjustments, but yes, drivers door is off. That's actually why I took the door close ups so I could send it to Seibon. It's all adjustable from what I've heard, but no time yet to work on it. I don't anticipate too many problems with getting the door to seal. If you'll notice, the bottom is in a little and the top is out. Should be ok.

You should go all out and get the Carbon Fiber roof panel from AMS....here are some pics...
Here is their writeup on the product...
http://www.amsperformance.com/store/...oducts_id=1334
AMS EVO VII/VIII/IX Carbon Fiber roof $1,199.95
We all love carbon fiber. Its light, its looks Great and when done right its Strong!
How about pulling 16lbs of weight off of the Highest point on your EVO!!!!
How about a Carbon Fiber roof that weighs 10 lbs!!!!!
The AMS Carbon Kevlar Roof Not Only weighs in 16 lbs less then the standard EVO Roof, but its just as strong.
AMS is constantly looking for ways to improve our shop cars. After weighing in the stock roof at a whopping 26 lbs we knew there was alot of room for improvement. Strength is something we could not compromise. From our Record setting Drag car to our NASA TTU Champion Time attack car we had to make sure that the structural integrity was maintained.
The best part about the AMS CF Roof is that it can be used on ANY evo. It fits perfectly in place of your existing roof, factory headliner and all.

How much weight savings on the CF top vs Aluminum, since the RS is aluminum. As for the hood, the Aluminum is slightly lighter than the CF so not sure how much would be saved when comparing to the lightweight Aluminum on the RS. I chose CF doors, since they were steel. Aluminum vs Steel makes up for part of the factory savings/weight figures. I would imagine that the Alum top is about the same if not lighter, unless the CF is single layer without the supports. Any ideas as to the comparisons?

Since this car was not a 'Show and Shine' car, usually thought of as good looks and shows, and I was asked by at least 20 people to post up pics, and since it's definitely more of a go car than a show car, and since it fits General better than Show, I posted them here. GO guys don't usually care about show first, go second. This car is built for go, hence the CF.
