Evening! Lurker since I got the car, but I need help.

A teen hit my 2010, in black I love the car... her insurance is covering repairs but due to the age I know they will use junkyard parts and I want to use the money to pay for the repairs and do it myself and also put more money into the car.
They have a black 2008 at the junkyard with the door and fender in good condition, I am curious if they will match up with the 2010. I do not mind moving the door insides and such so long as not the glass, so I would take the whole door.
I am just concerned if they will match up or if I should just let their insurance fix it and deal with possible mis match paint.

 

They'll fix it good.

 

think so? I do hope so. Monday I call back to decide if check or have them fix.

 

Doors are slightly different. 2008 does not have window controls on the door, so the arm rest mount is a bit different. Fenders work.

 

Careful. There was a 2008 "Shadow Edition" that reads black but is a metallic. Other than that, black is the same every year.

I would save the window regulator from your 2010 if it's good, as they sometimes fail. Pretty easy to take out. Maybe the window too. Maybe the mirror, too. And the 2008 might have a different finish on the mirror cap.

Check the paint code on the sticker in the glove box. It might be black , it might be carbon flash metallic.
