You beat me to it... ROLL CAGE is the key to those doors my friend...

There are a few people out there who have either done this in part or in it's entirety. Just be prepared, proper autoclaved dry carbon fiber is EXPENSIVE..... I believe I have heard as much as $2000 for the doors alone, and the fenders for a couple of grand too…

Seibon's doors are heavier than other options. They have the hand laid fiberglass which is heavy.
