No reason to even talk about CF door replacement. It will never happen because it's too expensive for too little weight saving.

Working with fiberglass and CF is extremely difficult, and paying a fabricator to lay it up would cost a small fortune in both parts and labor.

If you want to save weight, buy a motorcycle. If you want to save weight on doors, get a Jeep.
