Passenger doors needed or Dent fix?

I know this is the wrong place but I need both doors on the passenger side or an expert in pulling dents out in souteast florida.

Also I'm open to suggestions to places I can call or order the doors from? Any ideas on how much the average cost is? Anyone ever do any do it yourself dent pulling?

What do you guys think is a better idea new doors or dent fix?

The story I'm sticking with is a dog was in the road and I swerved into the grass then the doors brushed up against the tree and bam I need to pay.

How does $1000 sound for 2 passenger side doors matching my paint color? Then after that i can part out my windows, power window motor, regulator, and the panel and probably get 300-400 or so back?

personally i would go with buying new doors. from my experience, i did fix my previous cars. none of them are perfect (i mean nice and straight like brand new. and i'm so picky about nice body and perfect colors). no matter how good the body shop experiences has but they will not good enough to make it like brand new. you can get used doors from junkyard with a nice condition. is your door really bad? if not just bring your car to DENT WIZARD.

Yea show pics of the dent(s). If its not majorly messed up I was gonna suggest the dry ice/compressed air method.

Yea I saw a video on that it would be ok to do the compressed air if maybe a baseball hit my car lightly but nothing more. I'd take pictures but the car is pearl white and none of them come out very well.

I'm just going to end up with new doors I could a couple that are 200 miles away for $500 with everything in tact so I'll just part out of old doors on ebay and probably not spend much money at all.

It is going to be near impossible to get the Pearl White to match if it is a 3-stage paint, I know my 98 Pearl White is 3-stage. Pay good money to get it painted and get it in writing that it will look good.
