Hmmmm considering both doors would weight close to 100kg, you would be saving quite a bit of weight there if you were keen enough to go for them. Wonder How much they would weigh each... 20-30kg?

Not my cup of tea though, I like big heavy things, plus stock doors would give extra safety over those! :-)

Imagine getting used to the decreased weight, you would be pushing the 7kg door rather hard finding it would fly out pretty quickly!

Link to auction that is still active:
http://page16.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u8417217

Perfect accompaniment to that would be acrylic windows (why use 7kg doors with 10kg worth of glass + winder?):
With slider:
http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m26416238

Without:
http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h37074567

Though if you are going to go to the trouble of carbon doors and acrylic windows i'm guessing aircon would be out... So the slider would be kinda necessary.


And for the people who are not rich enough to spend $2500 on carbon doors... they have FRP versions as well on their website. 1/3rd the price!

Has anyone actually weighed the standard doors? 50kg seems an awful lot.
