Dry carbon doors can be pretty cost prohibitive for most, however, and some of the vendor offerings for carbon doors are not a whole lot lighter than skinning the factory doors once you get hinges on, etc.

Definitely agree on both points. The door is already pretty light with door cards, windows, etc gone so if you have a full cage, ripping out the supports is a great savings that the cage adds back in a bit. Worth it, but I'm curious how much the door supports alone lost you once the full cage difference was added in?
