Absence of crash bars and other reinforcements.

yeah and the last thing you want missing is your crash bar in the door gone....unless you have a full cage that comes down by your door....very unsafe for daily driving!!!!

i understand that, but this is not my daily driver. this is my track/circuit car. but how much weight will this save? im asking because if i do buy jdm doors, ill need to have them paint matched to my car. but if it saves me like 5 lbs per door, then its totally not worth it

You would be just aswell cutting the frame and stuff out your current doors, you could loose a lot of weight from them and it wouldnt cost you anything. You could probably get them lighter than a JDM door too
