    R door finish

    Hey guys,

    I am wondering if anybody with an R is looking into a way to finish the inside of the door. I think it looks pretty bad even for just a race car. I guess at a minimum, the inside of the coor could be painted black, but I was more thinking of maybe mounting an aluminum panel just to close it of. Too bad that there is no lip on the edge of it. It would make it a lot easier to do.
    what will you guys be doing?

    I had FFR send me a set of door cards that I will use/use as a template. Aluminum/CF/ABS.. not sure yet.
    A well stocked beverage fridge is the key to any successful project.

    I'm of the opposite opinion. The hollowed out, rough inside, of the door shell looks great just the way it is. To me it show a commitment to weight removal, which I respect.

    I'm thinking a little paint, just don't like the look of the fiberglass on the inside. Just enough to change the color.

    I'm thinking of filling the doors and the side if the car just behind the door with some Nascar Impaxx foam. Does anyone know a source for this or something similar?
    Thanks

    I just mounted the ABS door panels and the front aluminum as a wind stop.
