Default messed up door

Theres a big dent on the passenger side door of my 95 civic ex coupe, luckily its on only teh door but its about 7 inches wide. me and my friend tried to use the sucktion cup to suck it out but its too big. I want to know if it is possible to get the dent out if so how much. If i have to replace the door, how much would that take? and how hard would it be to find a black 95 civic ex coupe door. Ive stopped by a few junk yards but they BS around and dun really deal with teens If i do find one do i have to pay for the whole door with the power windows and all that junk? or can i juss by the door it self bare, and put in my old interior and power locks and stuff. If u can, id appreciate it if someone can recommend me websites or junk yards, i live int eh bay area

What "bay area" would that be? You might get more replies to help you if your location was listed or if you were more specific in that way.
I think for a dent that large (also depending if the dent has creased the metal)
you may have to get a new door. Since salvage yards all work differently, you
may find one that will sell the door minus the interior to save you a lil cash.
Good luck!

Why don't you try a paintless dent removal service? It worked wonders for my dings and dents.

If it is not that bad, then I would try the paintless dent removal route.
There may be a "DentPro" near you. Look them up in the phonebook.
I believe they will send someone out to your car and do it up in about 30-45 min.

I have seen this in action and it is pretty cool.
