Wondering if anyone has done this?
I saw it on a petrolicious video and thought it was pretty cool and a relatively easy way to lost some weight.

Not for a daily at any rate. For a race car, better off just going fixed lexan with cat-flap for weight savings.

Yeah definitely wouldn't be for a daily! I googled cat flap and can't find anything. What is it

I want to run carbon doors, oem glass, and see if I can get creative with a power window delete as long as I can put em up and down and use OEM inner door panels. keep it street legal or in a few grey areas of that nature.

Unless you're planning to run a cage with door bars don't bother with carbon doors. They have no crash protection/reinforcement.

T-Bones are deadly enough as it is...I wouldn't tempt fate.

I agree, I thought the same thing (cf doors) while trying to keep it legal. No way around it, you're playing with your life and your passengers life. Wouldn't do it.

Also, not only is it essential protection for a tbone, but it's also part of the overall structural rigidity of the chassis in a frontal or rear end collision. The metal doors act as a truss from front to back of the car aiding in the pillar and bottom chassis for rigidity in its longitudinal direction. Make that out of cf with no rigidity in that area and it becomes a new crumple zone (which seeing as you're sitting there, you don't want it to be).

I believe that Mike does indeed plan on caging his dsm. Speaking with him a few years back he definitely knows about the protection the factory doors provide.
