Unhappy HELP....NEW TO SITE 2003 G35 Sedan

Hi fellow G35 enthusiasts....I have a 2003 G35 sedan and i think i need a right(behind the driver) rear passenger door i got a dent in mine. I went around for quotes to pull the dent out and spray the door but the prices were too expensive so i figured i just get a door from a junk yard of the same color(grey) and replace the door....Is this the right decision? Im worried it might cause problems with the door locks and windows??? I got an offer for 300 for the door and another 150 to install it.....The cheapest quote i got to pull the dent out and spray the entire right side of car so paint can blend is $600..I want to save money but im also confused. Does anyone have a cheaper door? also i need a drivers side mirror if anyone know where i can get a cheap one because its not in a junk yard around here.

depending on the size of the dent, you could call dent wizard (if it is just a dent), but there's no guarantee that it will work.

It's just a dent. Wait till you collect some more and get them fixed at the same time. $450 is a lot of money... Driver's side mirror could be trickier. Try ebay.

Have the dealer replace your door if there is rust on it. We have a 10 year door rust guarantee I believe.

imo id just get the oem door fixed...swapping with another could mean more problems..paint mismatch,locking mechanism,power window failure could be amongst the few you can run into

Your chances of finding a junk yard door with good paint is not high. I would just have it fixed.

I don't know, give the dealership your VIN when you call them so they can access the available TSBs and/or recalls.

Yes for me, I had a few dents and even rust on the bottom of my doors and they replaced 3 of my doors under warranty due to the corrosion warranty.
