Ribbon tweeters in Car?

I found one thread that talks about putting a ribbon tweeters in the car. Some says fragile nature of the ribbon is a concern in car environment, some says they are quite resiliant, and the exceptional sound stage is beneficial in the car environment.

I also found out that Real Ribbons are indeed fragile, where the quasi-ribbons are very durable.

I am looking at these ribbon tweeters.

DAYTON PT2B-8 PLANAR TWEETER $32.15
HI-VI RT1C-A Tweeter $48.30

Knowing that true ribbon tweeters are really expensive, these must be quasi ribbons. They are cheap... Daytons and Hi-Vi's are usually very good value, so I'd choose these over some other exotic brands.

Here's my questions

1. Are these Quasi ribbons?
2. Can I use them in the car (Heat Cold Humidity Etc(
3. Can I put them on the door (Triangle Area)?
4. Any concerns with driving these with car amp?
5. Planning to use Electronic crossover and do a Two or Three way. Am I asking for more trouble than what it's worth? Should I just go for a ready made Alpine or something for the same money? (Then I wouldn't be posting this here at audio DIY forum eh)

Any help already appreciated.
