    Someone backed into the side of my car today. Caved in the bottom of the door, part of the fender. And smashed the mirror. Probably gonna take it to a body shop for a quote next week.

    Does anyone know if non GXP Grand Prix doors are the same?
    And if anyone knows where to find a door and fender for a good deal it would be greatly appreciated. I'll try to post a pic, but I'm on my cell phone.

    The doors are the same. The fenders aren't but you already knew that.

    We agreed to settle it without insurance. They are friends of the family, So it's an awkward situation.

    that's the best way to do it, it's nice to have insurance, but better to avoid using it if possible. are you on facebook? there is an LS4 group on there that i'm part of, you might have some luck finding parts that you need on there.

    Here is a picture of the damage. I took a couple years of Auto body, so I'm gonna try to do the repair myself.

    not bad, looks like it's just the fender door and mirror. take your time, hopefully it will turn out good.

    Check car-part.com for the parts you need. I've found quite a few things there at decent prices over the years. You might even get lucky enough to find a door, fender and mirror in the correct color of paint.

    Found a new door for $100 this weekend. Got the window,trim, & Badges swapped over. Needs a buff & polish bad, but should clean up decent.

    Finally got the car back together after 3 months. Most of the time I was just waiting for stuff in the mail. Almost had a paint gun get lost in the mail, but now I have 2 for the price of one.

    Just be ecstatically happy you didn't need a rocker panel.
