Carbon Fiber is only worth the money if its replacement of a structural member. Door panels are not structural. It does not come to contact with any forces other than the wind sliding and buffeting against it. If you replace the side protectors with CF bars, that would different. The steel cylinders are hollow yet there is enough mass to be saved with CF compared with thin skin doors.
