I was watching the old thread most of the afternoon yesterday. No wonder no one was posting...

The plague got me. The other issue with me getting a door on ebay aside from just being able to do it is that my car has some really custom 3m clearcoat film on it. I have not found a kit or anything like it online that looks like what I have as the doors have it as well. I only see stuff for the headlights and the front bumper/hood.

I secretly was afraid of that because of the noise the door makes when you close it.

It should be quite straightforward to swap them out, tricky bit would be aligning the door back up with your car so the shut lines are right. If you found a green one with the same interior as yours it should be fine, dare I say relatively easy.

Sucks about PDR, I thought they could perform miracles.

I thought the same thing when you explained it to me last week.

Why not just swap the interior?

I would also think that a door sans card would be significantly cheaper.

Me too they sell shims or I could get something to wedge in there from home depot racing...

119.00 plus shipping actually. Totally doable.
