They look cool to me, but I would never pay money for them. The stock door panels are already light as crap.

look ok.....don't serve a purpose though.....if you want a lighter car why not remove the door panels as opposed to replacing them? the whole carbon fiber thing is getting way out of hand.....i'm just waiting for a carbon fiber owner's manual and a carbon fiber windshield.

The stock door panels to me seem extremely heavy for what they are. If I was rich I might sport those, but I'd prefer it if it was something less showy. How much do those go for anyway? No speakers I guess.

Step one. Remove door panels
Step two. Gut the door and trim out excess metal
Step three. Install sheet of metal.

Thats the route to go for weight reduction.

Yeah the farthest I am willing to go is the hood. I cant see myself getting anything else in CF.
