Ah well thats alright then...
Origin do make them, so maybe try an origin dealer or try and bring them in through streeter, also there's MCNSPORT.com, and a few other companies in j-land that make em.

also add to it that they are quite flimsy, unlikely to fit well, prone to cracking being a regularly moved part of the exterior and 99.9% of them dont allow you to run a window mechanism...definately not fun for a street car...
the loss of weight doesnt make up for the luxuries unless its a full blown racecar which im doubting this is...

the origin ones run a stock skeleton, so you can run full windows.
I can see the point about strength... I know with my sprinter it needs more than a gentle push to shut the doors haha.
