Hello, everyone,

because my vehicle still weighs too much even with an empty interior, I am currently talking to a manufacturer about full carbon doors.

Would anyone be interested? We are already two and of course I'm trying with several people to lower the price a bit. But that will not be cheap. Calculate with about 2000$. For one door.

I'll keep you guys updated.

I’d be interested as well depending on price and how much weight you are actually going to be shedding honestly most of the weight comes down to window motors, brackets and thick heavy glass on most newer vehicles and not the actual door skin material

Per door without contents you will easily save about 20kg. In total this would be about 80kg for the limousine.
I personally will install makrolon windows in the back and leave out the whole interior. But even if you put the things back in, it will save about 80kg of weight.

80kg would be a nice chunk of weight if that’s what it ends up being

Sounds like sedan since he says each door saves 20kg and total of 80kg. That would mean around $8000 for a full set

Good call, I didn't catch that. Anyway, I'm out - don't have a sedan, and don't have $8k for doors
