okay i found a j being parted out on eBay and the rear passenger door is in great shape right color and everything my only concern is that it is a 95 and mines a 94 is the paint the same and all that or should i just stay away from the idea and have the dent fixed

door from eBay 270 shipped matching color code

cheapest door quote 400 no guarantee that they wont break the paint from any of them

help me out im guessing that being infiniti and the great paint that they use proof by being 12 years old and looking not day over new that i might get lucky on the match

any opinion's?

I don't know how serious your dent is, but you may have some "paintless" dent removal people in your State. I would check your local phone book. If they can fix it, they would charge well below $270.

I've had various dings and dents removed from these professionals in the past.

If they can fix it, it should only be $30-$60 per dent or so.

stay away from replacing doors if you can... i've replaced two... NOT FUN AT ALL.

get the ding removed from a body shop if you can... heck they'll do it for cheaper than 200

Yeah doors are not fun...I've helped with two on my friend's neon

definately a better bet if the dent isnt too bad to just go get it repaired
