Carbon Fiber body swap

Plus, carbon doors on a daily driven car scare me. I wouldn't want to bet on how well they hold up in a side impact. Carbon doesn't bend- it shatters.

As you said, Carbon shatters into many pieces. However, from what I have heard, that actually is beneficial because it disperses and breaks the impact sooner instead of intaking the impact. Interesting theory, anyone else agree with this?

Your exactly wright ! Every piece that breaks or shatters away from the car is energy dissipating , instead of going into the driver !! Physics every action has an opposite and equal reaction !
