Is anybody using fiberglass doors? If so, does it look like a regular street car, or is it obvious that the doors are fiberglass? Does everything line up well? What do they look like inside? Pics would be helpful if anyone has them...

I think its a girl, and going off your s/n, I assume you have an 87. The only doors i know about for those years require a fixed position lexan glass that requires a window frame and screws, So yes the doors would be very noticeable. A quality set of doors should match up with the body lines. Inside is usualy flat that has a access panel for the aftermarket door handle hardware that will need to be made.

Yes it was in regard to the VFN doors. It would be for a 4th gen. For weight reasons. so would it look ok or no?

Fiberglass or carbon fiber both look as good as the body guy that does the work.

The frame support is what shows and looks very obvious, as said (ProMod).

Are you wanting to keep the oem glass? If so then stick with the stock doors. You can pull the door bars out. I would only do this on a track only car however. There 7lbs a piece. you can cut some off the fiberglass under the door panel too.
