Replacing Door So i got hit on my passenger side and the fiberglass door skin is all messed up. I have read that the best thing to do is replace the whole door. I found one locally that I might buy this weekend. So just to check, a door from a 98 camaro should still fit a 97 right? Event though there is a body change in the front? The guy wants $100 for the passenger door in great condition. Is this a good deal?

Ok thats what I thought. Is it very hard to install the new door and have it line up and hook up all the wiring for speakers and door locks/windows and stuff?

I have never completely removed the door myself, but I will be doing so in the next couple weeks to prep my car for paint. The thing that appears is going to be the biggest pita is the wiring. Don't really have any tips for you as I have not yet done it myself. But I know the hinges are the same. I think the 93's and maybe the 94's had the hinges welded on, but the rest are bolt on and interchangeable.
