Something to do with demil process. Like the X doors in the beginning. Light shrapnel resistant and the government cant figure it out... It's a darn door. My guess. Give it 10 months and piles of $$$ high priced doors IMO

The rear doors on my 996 are 1/8" kevlar over a core of fiberglass insulation and would probably have trouble stopping a well thrown rock! They do LOOK like armor but Uncle will take forever to figure that out, if ever. When I installed the door lock I had to reinforce the panel to keep it from falling out!
