when i got my prelude the drivers side door had to be replaced...after 4 months of looking around i finally found a door to replace it with...i was going to try to change the door but the person i got the door from told me that its hard to take the door off...he said i have to take the fender and front bumper off to do it...is this true? if he is right how much would a shop charge to do this kind of work? thanks

its not hard to pull the fender and bumper off, not hard enough to PAY someone to do it.

you gotta do it to change bulbs anyway.

no clue if you have to do that though for door, but im guessing thats true since he took the door off

you don't have to take the bumper off, only the fender, then it is 4 bolts off and 4 bolts on and then your new door is on. Replace the fender and you're "ALL GOOD"!

BTW, what bulbs ARE you talking about?

You can do it, but it is MUCH easier if you take off the fender!

the bodyshop that put my kit/paint on told me that when i need to take the front off to change headlight bulbs (which I guess I dont have to do, thank god.. never changed 'em) that the kits riveted so a few screws pops it off..

but i guess my front doesnt have to drop for headlight bulbs
