reminds me of TVR. They don't have airbags or traction control in their cars. And i forget the contexts of it, But some newspaper or show or something asked TVR what if you crash. TVR Responded by saying "Why would you crash" or "Simple. Don't crash the car". Or Something along those lines
Kinda same deal. you get the doors. Don't Crash lol. They said it on Top Gear. Let me see if I can find it.

Looks like Dry CF is used to make the doors..........Lamborgini uses wet CF.........same stuf that is in airplanes.........the differance is wet is structurally laid on axis in each layer and then put in an autoclave and cooked ina form or tool........
Dry CF is applied to a fiberglass structure that has adhesive on it and then vacume packed and then coated in resin and clear coat.........
Wet CF is extremely strong........I used to build the horizontal steering flaps for the Boeing 777................we put in nearly 85lbs of it intothe tool..........then a behive like comb structural piece in between some layers..........and then it got cooked in the autoclave which uses heat,vacume and pressure to make the parts one solid piece...........the parts came out and weigh under 8 pounds............from 85to 8..........and stronger than steel.........

To get a Ferrari door your probably paying 12x more then $1600. Just for 1 door. And if your paying that much then yes it doesnt shatter otherwise why pay so much for crap. So now compare it to after market doors for $1600. Its easy to be skeptical. $1600 isnt a bad price at all IMO. A regular door from Toyota probably costs 500 +.
I think their great I just really question the fit and strength of the support at the hinges. Theres no such door pins
