One of the members saw my post on another thread of my door skins and sent a PM to post more details so I hope he can find it here, I cannot find the other thread lol.
I have a Rhino that I put some 4MM ACM composite material skins onto my OEM doors. The pics will show some detailing. I got some Tee nuts and some allen button head 1/4x20 SS bolts and fender washers for the plastic door side. I fabbed some drop in latches out of some aluminum storefront sections I had laying around, and tapped the cage to bolt the fixed side. The screw up I did, was I missed the cutout for the latch. So I made a little frame around the latch opening to hide the Gufffaw. The latches used the OEM screws is why they are rusted in pics. I used some automotive door edge moulding I got at Advance for $11 IIRC. I would encourage making a pattern from some stiff cardboard or luan paneling would be even better.

Did not know there was a five pic limit per post and apologize if extra work for monitors.
Hope the pics help. Basically I just made a pattern and cut them out with a sabre saw and dressed edges with a file.
I think I may get a buddy to wrap the door with a blackish film that comes closer to matching the OEM ghost flames that are on it, but it matches my wheels fairly close and has not hardly scratched with the limbs and stuff of trail riding. Have fun if this is what you want to do.

Those are awesome looking. I had actually thought about trying something like this but i did not think the stock doors would support the weight. What type of material did you use?

I agree about the weight, that is why I made the brackets at the back of the doors. I was not worried about the static weight but the dynamic weight when riding. There is enough slope in the hinges that when I operate the latch I pickup on the door and it is a one movement opening. I though about a spring latch but did not want to have to use two operations to open the door.
The material I used is called ACM = Aluminum Composite Material or there is some called MCM which are both used as architectural building skin material. It is probably pretty pricey....mine was scrap left over from a big construction project..comes in 4 x 8 and maybe 5 x 10 sheets. It has a Kynar paint on the alum face (comes in many colors) and a plastic type core material and another alum skin on inside ( I painted that black). It comes in 4mm thick and 6 mm thick. 6 is about twice as heavy, the 4 probably weighs about a pound a square foot or less as a guess, and plenty sturdy for this application. As a point of reference my doors are 24" high and 39" at the longest point. If you go together with someone else you could have two sets out of whatever the cost is. Or as I did, you could use the rest of the sheet to make a roof (which takes 50" width on my rhino cage.)
Hope this helps.

Meant to say "sloppiness" in the hinges, my door moves vertically an inch or so at the end of the panel where I put the bracket. When I close it is rises over the slope and settles in to the notch.

Thank you very much! That would definitely help a lot.
