I need a right rear door for a Red 2000 CRV. I have checked the local
area salvage yards with no success. One yard had a door that they
described as "B" condition that would need an hours work to clean up. I
drove 125 miles to look at the door and it had serious problems that
were not acceptable. I need tips on how to locate a door from out of
state and how to best judge a door that is sight unseen. I cant afford
to spend $400 for a door and then another $400 to fix it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

=================================

We can't be much help with 'out-of-state' if we don't know what _state
you're in_. Keep in mind that red is the worst color for fading. If
yours lived in a garage and the donor car lived outside, there will be a
big difference, (depending on what STATE you're in).

Why not repost and mention where you are in the subject line?

Thanks for the reply, I decided to go with a local door and get it
painted. There are to many things that can go wrong with buying a door
online and i never even considered your idea.

Thanks again
