Door panel Replacements?
Instead of removing the door panel completely, does anyone know of just flat panels that reduce the weight of the OEM panel, but still retains the door switches?
Something along these lines:

DIY'ers welcome as well!!
That means you David Farmer lol (Vented hood mod )

I have my panels off at the moment and was actually looking at the CF panels in a GT3 Cup yesterday thinking how awesome that would be.
Surely someone could fab these and sell them?

I'm a zip-tie guy also, sorry! I don't think it would take much effort to makes something out of aluminum or fiberglass, but zip-ties get the job done much easier

I have just two rough pics. The film hasnt been taken off yet. When I first made the holes to attach the cover I made the push pin too tight. having to take it off later to work on another area I cracked a big chunk of the corner off!
Ill learn on the other side, may even have it cut buy Lowes (I heard they do that)
This was all done by a dremel, my jigsaw seemed to be too harsh and crack another panel.
Ill grab another panel later, but run with this for a while.

Plexiglass cracks way too easy, Lexan is a much better choice. Lexan cuts with a Skilsaw or Jigsaw without cracking. A thin strip of Lexan can be tied into a knot and won't break. Downside is that it's about 70% more expensive.
Plexiglass door panels will shatter in an accident and worse case cut you up pretty bad, please use lexan, it's much safer.
