OB, I'm beginning to think you've got more money than good sense! Fiberglass doors and hatches are basically a race only thing to cut weight. Not for street use unless you have a death wish!

Probably since you still wouldn't have anyting in that space. You'd have it all around the door but if you got hit there it would still crunch right in.

Yeah even with a cage youre not safe.

No one plans on wrecking man it just happens.

I would go with at the maximum hatch,hood,and fenders and even then if you get hit its going to destroy all of that and do more damage to the unibody than usual.Remember man we have a unibody no frame rails and such to help out with the strength our cars are like legos they depend on everything for strength and support.
