Re: Mod to lighten doors.
The weight is also what protects you in a side impact. I would leave them as is. Just replace your hinge pins and bushings need be. Think about how old the car is, That is how long it will be before you have to do bushings and pins again.

I used to own an Acrylic business.
I would never use it on a street car, heck even my race car has glass.
