Does any one know which exterior body panels and exterior parts on the 2009 Z06 are NOT carbon fiber and which ones are? I was told the doors are metal.

I think someone was pulling on your leg,Kinda like the story about the All Aluminum body back in the 60's,and 70's!!:L:L:L
The only Steel that is in them doors is the Side Collision Crash Bar,Henge and Latch plate outside of a few screws,rivets and hardware!!:thumb:thumb:thumb

Suddenly I'm having a flashback to a picture with a guy wearing a break rotor for a hat and thinking there was probably as much steel on your...umm...I mean, his head, as there is in a door! :D

I'm hoping you are referring to the Z06.
Bonnet: SMC
hood: SMC
rear hatchlid:SMC
door skins: SMC
front fenders: chopped carbon fiber
front fascia: SMC
rear quarters: SMC
rear cover:SMC
rocker panels are SMC

The only things that are "carbon" on the car are the front fenders and the front wheel houses (which are interior!)

SMC= sheet molding compound
 
Norty - you are right! I meant Z06. I'm known for fat fingering computer keyboards. I edited my question to correct it. Thanks.
