fiberglass door will weigh a SHITLOAD less than stock doors. for example: an 88 CRX SI door (no seatbelts in it, frame mounted) had to weigh at least 60 pounds a piece. there is a reason for this: it is called safety impact beams. don't put fiberglass doors on your daily driver without a cage.

Having fiberglass doors on a street car thats driven daily could prove to be fatal. If its a trailor queen track ***** ok but not on your daily commuter.

hmm thats a good 100lbs there, i was thinking of getting the fpr doors and just swap em out when i go to a track. but then about the window. i 'd need to find someone to put lexan or something else in there. also does the rear hatch have any impact beams or anything to make it heavy? how much does that weight? thanks
