expensive

I wanted a new door frame because my seat belt had somehowe lodged itself into it and created a massive hole. Anyways someone told me they had to get a new one when there car was broken into and insurance covered it, but it was like $600. Someone else told me to go to a junk yard and find a matching one in which that door panel had not been damaged.

I had a black interior with black leather which made it an extra pain in the ***; car was totalled before I replaced it, so things could be worse.

Make whoever did it pay for it though, they aren't cheap. Even if you go to a junk yard and find one it will cost you probably $50-100, plus all that hassle of finding one, uninstalling, and installing a new panel which was not part of the original car.

Not to sound like an a$$

But if you had any respect for your car you wouldn't of let him drive your car with a cigarette.
A fine a** girl could step into my car with a cigarette, and I would kick her a** out and tell her not to let the door hit her on the way out... Or if she prefers to smoke.. she can sit in the trunk.

yeah, I agree with you but this is a guy that I've known forever. I now know not to trust him. I trust only a few people to smoke in my car, but no longer. It's not worth it.

Why are people allowed to smoke in your car? That's one of my rules -- never any smoking in my car. Of course, absolutely nobody I hang around with smokes, so it makes it a little easier...

same case here...

I have a few friends that smoke, and it really looks like the previous owner might have been a smoker too... I have burn marks on the door panel, drivers side and passengers side, then I have burn marks on the cloth above the doors, and some on floor in the rear. I know a couple of them were there before, but some appeared out of nowhere.. I have cloth interior though, if I had leather, I'd probably ban my mom from my car if she was a smoker.

If you have leather, I would ossume with some custom work, you can purchase a piece of leather for the door panel the same color and possibly fit it yourself, or with the help of a shop that customizes this kind of stuff.
