Hey guys, does anyone know where I can find a driver's side door skin used?



Acura Autopmotive wants $216 for it brand new. I was hoping someone may have it laying around or know someone that does. If anyone knows please let me know. TIA.

Oh yeah, it's FRIDAY

 

I would try your local junk yard's, and pick a parts.. Also, call your local shops as well, as they also seem to have parts laying around..
Yeah, it's Friday! Friday the 13th

Don't try to buy that piece used, that's a terrible idea.

You realize that piece needs to be welded to the door, right?

Just buy the new one or live with your damaged door.

 

You're better off looking for an entire door at a junk yard. The cost of having it welded on and painted would cost more than a used door would, even if you got the door skin for free.

 

I wouldn't change it either, unless it was absolutely necessary. How bad is the damage?

 

Oh well I guess I can just fix the current door or find a whole one. Does anyone have a whole door laying around?

 

what is wrong with the door??? dents?? i might have one.....but it might not be worth trying to ship to you......and it is primer grey in color....let me know. i am willing to help you out.

 

hey im lookin for a door as well... i need a passenger side one real bad.. the only way to fix my door is with bondo!! which i have a five minute job on the door rite now! just to cover up the HUGE indent!

 

Hungster, Just buy a used door. You can find one probably for the same price of that door skin.

 

Used doors around here = $500-600 (I'm looking for one too). It would have to be painted either way and there's no way that I can see welding that skin costing over $250.

However, you can sell the used's door accessories on ebay, which is what I'll be doing

edit: corrected price for door

The dent is where the crease in my door is, like in this picture (Courtesy of George Knighton and WTDR.com ). It won't be able to be fix w/o lots of bondo so it may be better to get a new door.



Is the door you have a ITR door up-youRs? Please give me some more info.

have you tried contacting a paintless repair place instead of a body shop. I had a back fender kicked in one time and the shop said they would have to take it off bang it out and repaint it. I called up a paintless repair place they came out to my house tryed to get it out and they were able to.

 

The only problem is that the paint cracked.

 

doh

 

Yeah, the paint may be cracked, but if you get the PDR guys to get the dent straighened out, you could then just have the door you have now repainted.

seems like it would end up costing a lot less than changing out the door, unless there is something else wrong with the door besides the dent?

 

Either way, you'll still have to have the door painted.

 

I'll probably leave the door the way it is for now and fix it when I shave my rear emblem and acura symbol. I think I'll go wingless then too
