by the looks of the, the reinforcement has been left between the cf skin and the inner steel frame. if done correctly, those doors are no less dangerous than the metal version that came with the car.

If you go back to the sight listed earlier they have the back doors in carbon too.

Not bad for the weight savings.
I was surprised at how light the Bose 9 inch door speakers are.
Is the stock door weight you guys are referring to with all the hardware and glass?

from what I have seen posted here and elsewhere the front doors are about 80lbs without all the motors and windows and other items attached, these CF ones are supposed to be 12lbs from what the manufacturer told me in an email. Thats a lot of weight savings with just the front doors, 140lbs to be exact, and thats if you keep all the interior motors speakers and such as I intend to do. if you intend to just race the car you could lose probably another 15-20lbs per door withought all of that stuff.

They are cool, but not for everyday. I'm pretty sure that the stock doors have 3 cross beams in the door, not 1. If it's a track car with a roll cage, I don't see why not.
