Question How much for exterior parts installed?

I want to replace my driver's side quarter panel, driver's side door, and driver's sideview mirror with ones off another TA.

How much will those three things cost to have installed (they are already painted and ready to be put on).

Thanks.

Well the quarter panel is going to have to be spot welded in place (at least with most cars, pretty sure on F-Bodies too)... meaning theres a chance that the paint will burn off in those areas, which will require painting (if done safely then door jamb, hatch jamb, behind tail light, etc...) and you may be able to pull that off by masking the "face" of the panel off and using a rattle can.

Just thought Id mention this for consideration since you mentioned they are already painted.

the 1/4 isn't a simple thing. thats pretty major work, and will need to be painted and blended.

Cant really say, Id call up some body shops and ask what their hourly rate is and how many hours they believe it would take to swap the 1/4 panel.
