A. Whole. Lot. Of. Labor.

The VFN components are descent, we have installed a lot of their stuff. It really depends on what your true need of the lighter weight is and the end cost.

The door is nothing like stock. You have to use some sort of stiffening device inside or it will sag with the weight on it. The lower window flange will not be in the stock location. Your fender will still have the mirror opening/hump exposed as the door is made flush for no mirror and designed to line up with their extended pro front end.

End result is you will never get any aftermarket door to align or fit like the factory ones without a lot of work. The factory door gutted out and Optic Armor window installed will not be that bad on weight and still open/close without issue and not sag.

There are some carbon doors available that are nice, but upwards of 2500.00 also.

Ultra-Carbon.

I don't know if Greg is making them in glass to but I saw the carbon doors on an X275 car at Cecil and they were very nice.

Been thinking about changing mine to the ultra carbons

Greg doors really look to be the best option. Expensive yes but what isn't in this hobby.

Firebird stuff KOZ is about the best you can do fwiw. Weight savings is huge but be ready to pay.
