The schirmer doors are oem replicas that allow for use of the oem window and latching system. Oem door weight is documented to be around 70 lbs, but I'm not sure what that includes.
The schirmer doors weigh about 11 pounds. I'll be doing a full write up on these including weights, how they fit, and what is required for the swap.
The door cards and speakers are heavy, and won't be going back on. I'll likely run a blank door card with a handle to open it and a pull strap. The window switches will be relocated. I'll likely get rid of the powered mirrors.
I think I might be in the neighborhood of 110lbs of savings with these. $45/lb ain't too bad.
