there's a common misconception that carbon fiber is ultra strong and that it makes for a nice safe lightweight replacement. sounds like he's already informed though.

I think your weight savings estimates are a little off. CF doors weigh around 20 lbs and the OEM weigh around 60 if i recall correctly. you could shave off 80lbs with cf doors, a significant amount none the less, just not the 200-300lbs paired with the hatch you are envisioning.

Sure, you might be right about the mark being alot closer to 200 than 300. My guestimate is just that! either way, what I would like to build is a car that suits my tastes and need for well, the need for speed, of course! lol.

200lbs is a ton of weight shaved off. I wish I could find 200 lbs to take out of my car without sacrificing ride quality. :P

If you're gonna do that Lev, you're going to have to get cash too. You'd be letting him rob you if just straight traded.

Tell you what. For a couple hundred I'll send you a framed picture of the hatch, but you should know sir, nothing is free.
