I wondered about that myself. Doesn't seem like a safe bet since my mr is an everyday driver.

given the safety concern, and the fact that many would probably paint over them, i think that carbon fiber door inserts (the inside pannel) would be cooler, and really finish the cars interior off given other carbon fiber trim.
just a thought...
(these are for a supra...so I'm assuming the MR2 ones if mase, would look different)

^^ I would buy CF door panels for sure.

I would really like a CF 93+ OEM front lip. I don't know if anyone has ever made that. I would maybe consider the doors but like most everyone else I'm just not in good enough financial shape to spend anything near $1500 on light weight parts, even though that is a great price I just can't do it.
