hahaha, im not saying i cant close them, but my girl cant at 4'11 and 100lbs. 
once then start to sag due to weight, its harder and harder to get them to close. if they were lighter, they wouldnt sag.
I have a hard time accepting that if your stock door pannel is on the door, it would be any worse in an accident. how is shatering carbon fiber going to...
1... get through the door pannel?
2.... hurt any worse than the glass when involved in a side impact collision?
if they are reinforced as the stock doors are, nothing more should happen, accept instead of bent metal, you get a clear view of your doors insides.
i like debates.

...and if your girl can't close the door because she's small, then be manly and close the door for her

^^^Are you the same rain off of club240 with the project Keira S14?
The carbon doors are great for a track car that is drifted, road raced, or drag raced. Not for daily driven cars. Look at formula one cars in an wreck all you see is pieces of carbon flying everywhere and I guarantee that the quality of their parts are light years beyong seibon. In a side impact the door would be crushed and you wouild be pinned instantly as well as the sharp pieces of carbon would impale you like wood shards. Now before you do this get a cage and some door bars. Then your car will be super sexy.
Debats are great.

Come on man, use your brain...think.

Dry Carbon > Wet Carbon
BTW, carbon doesn't "shatter" like fiberglass....it tends to bend and then finally crack if it meets enough force. No shards...I'd be more worried with frp doors than with carbon but either way, i wouldn't rock these without a roll cage.
