Door weight
I just picked up a new door shell from Mazda and threw it on the scales.
Door shell, completely empty, primer only was 41lbs.
Interesting side note, this door has an additional crash bar (?) that is cylindrical below the crash bar seen in the original door. Never seen one before.

I don't know what a "huge" advantage is but I imagine that a CF door will save about 20lbs max. Does anyone have the weight of a CF shell? Also the lack of a crash bar(s) doesn't make it quite an apples to apples comparison.

I've got a complete door to weigh (w/o extra crash bar) and will report it's weight. I didn't think 41lbs for the door is heavy, have you weighed any other doors? FC doors have to weigh quite a bit more.
