I don't know where to get a passenger door panel, but seriously... pay a professional next time for a tint job. I know everyone likes to do the DIY stuff, but putting tint on a car is almost nearly an art-form in imo.

I've heard so many people complain on this forum that they had bubbles on their rear windows after they had them tintned... and these were from people who had them done at a shop... by professionals... Imagine how successful you will be compared to someone who does this for a living.

~$400 plus shipping

Or you can try junkyards (though I haven't seen too many scrapped ACs).

again, you can definately try to find a junk yard and see if they have any A/C's! THat will be your best bet.. other than that, prepare to get hosed!

THis is the reason I chose to just do custom A pillars rather than go with punching holes in the doors of my A/C for my 3 way components

why isn't your brother paying for it? he ruined it he pays for it. This post should have been in the classified section that might have helped you might want to make a post and link to it there...

Also do you have pic's of the damaged part? if not can u take a few with your phone so i can keep on the lookout for ya.

First off, the OP is not from Brooklyn, neither is AppleBonker, so I assume you're refering to me. I don't have the problem with the botched tint job. I had my tints done from 212Motoring (a very reputable company) and they did a great job. Cost me $180, and I have a 1 year warranty. Secondly, I would never refer someone to some "mexicans" on Bedford Ave. It's not only bad advice, but a bigot remark.

Secondly, to the OP... I know your brother is going to pay for it, but that doesn't really look all that bad. I know it's a brand new car, so any damage to it is painful, but it could have been a lot worse. I wouldn't even worry about it.
