Agreed...id say pay 1800 for some dry carbon doors for the FC, I would also like dry carbon hatch frame. If not...S class fibreglass pieces would be fine for a lower cost. Thanks. And would you do one off's yet? If your not?

Absolutely sick idea. Sounds like a dead project tho. If you do decide to produce the FRP doors I'd totally take a set once I find a FC chassis for my track build.

Guys unless your gonna run a full cage on the street with door bars I wouldn't suggest being "bad ***" and running FRP/ carbon doors skins/skeletons on the street. As has been mentioned before one close encounter with a speedy smart car (or power pole for you drifters) and your done. Id imagine if you re-skinned your door and kept the stock skeleton it would be much safer.

Super Now already makes carbon doors for the FC. But if Shine did them in Dry Carbon, sure... sounds good.

I currently have gutted steel doors, which takes the doors down to around 1/3 of their original weight. I've considered going to a fiberglass door, but one thing that holds me back is that most of the doors I see are made to fit the stock door panel etc and I'd just have to cut out all the inside skin to fit around my roll cage. I'm a little worried that if I did this, I'd end up with some floppy useless lightweight fibgerlgass door. That's not really what I want. I don't care at all about side impact on the door, I have the cage for that. But it's not good for aero, cabin noise, or my (or my passenger's) confidence if it feels like my car is about to come apart at speed.

As I see it, If i DID end up going with a composite door, I'd likely do fiberglass because I'd end up painting it anyway and adding some glass inside the door if it needed to be more structural after gutting.

Back from the dead. Did this ever happen for FD? I would seriously consider the doors for my FD.
