Panspeed or RE Amemiya are the only two places I know of. But I hope you have a couple thousand dollars laying around plus another thousand for shipping. www.takakaira.com might be a good place to start looking. But you are searching for parts that are very very hard to get a hold of! Best of luck bro.

About the lexan, check out the speedglass windows at http://grannysspeedshop.com/
They have some protective coating on them and will save 45 lbs for both the front and rear windows each. Keep in mind you cant break them, so in an accident they can be dangerous.

And if you do find the fiberglass doors, I'd be curious to see what the actual cost of them is. If you want them bad enough I'm sure that there is a company on this forum that could/would make them.

I once saw a set sell on ebay many years ago located in puerto rico. It consisted of a hood fenders and door panels. Set sold for cheap too! Can't remember how much but it was less than 500.00

And not to sound like an old bastard here but, unless you have a full roll cage with side bars then you SHOULD NOT put fiberglass doors on your car. That is just damned dangerous and an overall stupid thing to do.

There are so many things to do before putting fiberglass doors on your car.
Are you racing in a class? Do they have minimum weight requirements? What kind of racing are you trying to do?
