Seibon is very respectable. You might also look at Carbon Creations.

Seibon is probably the best choice considering they make the most parts for your car with almost identical weave patterns and finishes. plus they're customer support and reliability is pretty good. most of the odd pieces they make on the carsare vacuum formed i believe anyway (but i could be wrong).

Iv noticed that when i called them that they were super helpful, and they gave me deal on all 3 parts.
But on the other hand i was thinking how would the pattern be if say, seibon hood, and vis trunk.
I think im going to shoot for this.

it's shouldn't be a large difference, depending on the processing of the fibers and finish they use. other than that, it's usually a safe bet to go with all matching brand. especially if you're matching body panels close together like a hood, bumper, fenders and grille.

Why would you want CF doors? Do they have the structural support that OEM ones do?

i don't worry about that kind of stuff anymore, i preach stuff like that all the time, they usually never care, so i just let them do what they want and what happens, happens. if anything, just wrap the door shell in a dry carbon mold if you're just wanting the look.

Probably the best thing on the market is the Carbon Fiber tape autozone sells.[sm=gobble.gif]

They have no center bar, so its for off road use only, but so are cf hoods. But I'm using this only for track racing.
