i know someone makes them, i just cant think of who it is. i am pretty sure you have to use lexan windows on them though, so its strictly for the track.

and what about the newer cars with fiberglass doors, like the majority?
Im pretty sure its the actual door support behind the door that keeps us safe. Or are we talking about more then just the skin of the door? Id think you could still have fiberglass doors with steel supports.

the deal with fibreglass doors being safe in new cars is simple. take fourth gens for example, the doors are composite, both the skin and shell are composite. there is a metal beam much like you would find in any metal door inside to help protect the ocupants in side impacts. i wouldnt run fibreglass doors on my car unless they had impact bars of i had at least a 8 point cage. they would be cool to have tho.
