According to PET, the doors are the same: 997.531.011/012.02. The inner door panels (sheet metal) are also the same. PET doesn't list differences for S vs. non-S. You thinking carbon fiber?

The shop that works on my cars had a 997 GT3 Cup car a week ago so of course I went over and drooled all over it. Those doors are amazingly light! But definitely not much side impact protection so a cage would be a must.

GettyDesign, GTRacing, MaShaw offer better options.

Motorsport doors are extremely expensive. GettyDesign is what most of the PCA Club Racers are using. GTRacing is a gettydesign reseller (same prices).

Check them out:

However, you do get what you pay for with these options. If you car about fit and finish, they require more finishing work (especially their plastic/FRP parts).
