I watched a video of a guy before who just purchased two large pieces of plexiglass or some type of light plastic. He cut it out to the shape of the door and drilled holes on it and used it to replace his door covers which was about a 5+ pound weight savings per door.Which only caused him about 150 bucks for all four doors LOL

I have seen a few videos like this. I just watched one like 15 mins ago where a guy took his door panels apart and DIY remade sections in carbon. One thing I’ve had on my mind is I don’t want to compromise interior quality and/or introduce a bunch of squeaks/rattles on my car. It’s not a track car so I want to keep it as quiet and comfortable inside as possible.

Redoing the outer door skins in carbon would be ideal to me because there’s a good amount of weight savings and what seems like no compromise to comfort... and doing anything that affects sound deadening I’m not cool with. I’m pretty sure I could get an easy 100lbs out of my car with a rear seat delete and carbon door skins, but I’m not ready to commit to those projects yet. The next thing I’m working on is some bracing for the rear strut areas.
