In terms of side impact CF would probably hold up. After all they do use the stuff in indy cars for safety. I'd check the thickness of them first.
No, they wouldn't. Indy cars don't use CF for safety, they use it for weight savings. It's the tubular frame/cage that protects the driver, not the skin on Indy cars.

I like JR's idea of wrapping the stock doors. Guaranteed OEM fitment too.

The newer Indy cars have a protective guard beneath the drivers made of kevlar which is an integrated part of the body. When you watch indy racing as much as me you know these things. I've also discussed this with the guys at Canepe. I totally had a brain fart intersession kicked my ass.
