Also if i can find them Fiberglass doors
You could save yourself alot of money and weight if you learned to lay glass yourself.

Often, the fiberglass parts aren't really concerned with part integrity and weight, people just think it's cool to have fiberglass parts, and marketing makes sure they're "cool" parts.*

*Cool is an opinion, not a fact. What they produce is what they feel is "cool", then through clever marketing, they make consumers think it's what every other consumer is going to buy as well. It's a genius strategy, just look at auto manufacturers.*
