you can get an entire door shell, but you'd still have to order every single item that goes into it seperately..... I'd estimate $2,500 in parts, and probably $1,800 in labor to build it, paint it, mount it ect. Most times an entire door has to be replaced, they like to use salvage yard doors, they might have to repaint, but it saves having to build the thing from scratch.

Door didn't have to be replaced, but it had a nice crease and also a crease in the fender. IIRC, $1500 or so...So, what I'm gettin at is that $500-750 seems to be pretty low, possibly not right.
