Panspeed
from JT Imports:
100% carbon fiber. Your able to use your original power windows inside the door too, and door panel if you would like.
IMO, they're not worth it unless your trying to save every last pound. I heard they dont even weigh that much different than stock doors. Plus the price is crazy, even though it is carbon fiber.

Totally only for looks and not worth it... Like someone said before take all the hardware off of a stock door and see how little it weighs.. And well the lambo doors are even worse..

No sub amp or speakers? Well, I have to admit...the sound of the rotary IS sweet enough...
EDIT: oh and the rolling eyes were for ppl complaining about 66lbs for 2 hinges, but have 150 lbs in subs amps and speakers, that's all lol.

Besides, you don't hear me complaining about 2 lbs here and there, do ya? I don't drag my car, so weight reduction isn't a primary concern of mine.

both inside and out, but unless the door is molded correctly and with dry carbon there is very little strength in the event of an accident. If you look at some Porsche racing parts you'll find the right kind of carbon fiber door, I highly doubt the ones for the Rx-7 will provide any kind of protection.
