Weight reduction is it worth it
Does anyone know if replacing your doors with carbon fiber or fiberglass and your fenders and stripping your interior for aluminum sheets makes a difference when drifting some feedback would be appreciated thank you

Just strip out the interior. It's free. Spend the money you would spend on carbon fiber and whatever on track days and driving the car. Many parts are already aluminium to save weight.
Based on the questions you're asking, it sounds like the car isn't holding you back, you're holding back the car. Drive it in whatever form it is now, get to know it and see what behaviors you actually need to change. Maybe all it needs is a proper alignment.
And also, don't forget about reliability mods. Cooling, oil injection, coils, cat, etc. Drifting is hard on the drivetrain
