If you have experience with Toyota sport's cars, then you'd LOVE the idea of aluminum doors...door hinges across the toyota globe would rejoice.

I'd take 2 aluminum doors over 1 hood and 1 trunk lid, anyday.
+1 for sure! Carbon hoods are common enough (paint it if you think they're ricey, I don't), and I would prefer my lightweight doors to be made by the factory for safety purposes.
