cobalt trunk

does anyone know if a cobalt trunk will fit on a 2003 cav????i really like how they're recesed into the tail but they stick out a little at the same time, hmmmmm ' y'all are probably thinking what the F%$k is he talking about?!?!?!' well on the corvettes, the tails are flush with surface, where as on the cobalts, even though the actual light doesnt stick out much past the surface, the still stic out from where the actually meet the trunk surface.
"this would prolly be easier to explain if i wasnt messed up right now. also would the c/f door for a 95-2002 cav fit a 2003 and still be able to have working windows and crap??

and to your question about the door, every cf door i have seen is for rivited in windows only.

A C/F door on a daily driver is going to be hazardous. Your car's body will flex, there is no mounts for windows, hardware, all that crap. Also the flexing will likely tear the c/f and your car would be a deathtrap in a crash....

right

what they said....diff. platform...and unsafe

if you want to get the lights from the cobalt you can do that onto your cav

people have done that, and even the wing iirc

both ugly imo

there's a reason GM put them on the cobalt and not the cav..

If you really wanted a project, you could buy the CF doors and trim them down to just be a skin over the existing door.... That'd be tough though.

if i wanted a skin i would just wrap the doors. and the doors are perfectly safe if they are properly re-inforced

are you goiung for a show car trailer queen or a daily driver? i thought cf doors were illegal for street use.

the cf doors are only illegal b/c they dont have any internal structure i already have rough schetches done up for an x type tude steel brace to be mounted inside the door and it would be a daily driver

reinforcing a carbon fiber door would completely take away the whole purpose of them... they're lightweight for racing and not for street use



Check out my build thread!

yes but the tube frame brace i would use would only add 4lbs

How would you even secure the frame work in the door to make it effective?
