I have seen hatches as light as 1.2kg in carbon but they were vaccuum formed in an autoclave using prepregs. Very expensive. The biggest weight saving is in FRP doors. Carbon doors can save about 42kg for both and glass reinforced doors can save you just over 20kg for both. However, there is a legal question over these with intrusion bars, glass vs lexan/perspex windows etc. Sometimes, what you save in weight for panels, you need to add in reinforcement such as extra bars for driver protection or for added chassis rigidity.
