Default Question about CF Doors

A few questions actually. Does anyone know the weight of the stock doors and the approx weight of CF doors? Also wondering about how well CF keeps noise out vs. stock doors and how well they'd do in a side-impact situation.

I wouldn't go carbon fiber doors without a roll cage. Its going to be noiser, thats part of the weight reduction, you loose the insulation.

A quick search and I found the post where Jason chimed in and said the doors weigh 57 lbs

Definitely highly recommended to run a full cage with CF doors. I've been lagging on my cage being built and i'm scared that someone will hit me when I drive my car.

I'd always try to protect your life with all the bad drivers out there.(roll cage) If I remember right I think Seibon said there doors are about 18lbs.
