Question Weight reduction

What are the guys who done the extreme to shave weight, do for the doors and door glass?
Current curb weight on mine is 3640 with an iron block and twins.

3640 on an iron block and twins is a pretty good job so far.

I'm kind of surprised these cars have steel stamped lower control arms. I see all the Buick's come with aluminum suspension pieces. Has to save a bunch of weight.

That's essentially where all the weight savings comes from on the 6th gen.
