Glasstek makes a real nice set. I saw them in person on Jason Digby's car.

A pair of doors by the time your done with the fitting,dealing with windows and paint will be over $2000.If you gut the steel ones it might be a 40 lb difference.
HEMI-ITIS has no cure.
My condition is fully BLOWN!!

Digby's doors were 10lbs ea with the lexan. He also made them pin on and off with light weight hinges, it's closer to 40 lbs a door difference from gutted steel doors.

They maybe carbon, I picked them up and had very little weight to them. Didn't think glasstek made carbon stuff.

Hand lay up carbon fiber is nearly identical process to fiberglass, except for the cost and weight. I would think most vendors will do Cf, if you ask, and are willing to pay a hefty surcharge, which is more for the hassle, then the actual extra material costs, IMO.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Are they carbon? No way a glass door,lexan,and latch/release,paint is only 10lbs.
Doug Wrong.........our glass G-body doors, with frames, door panels(carbon), lexan and even the stock outer door handles are barely over 10lbs each. They are Glasstek. And I would think a G-body door is bigger than a Dart door Our TOTALLY gutted steel doors with factory glass was 85lbs a side

Nice to see an aftermarket part that's that nice and barely over 10lbs. I'm surprised the stock gutted door was that heavy. My stock untouched 64 Belvedere post doors loaded were 75lbs. Doug
