The door is actually pretty straightforward to remove. It is probably worth a call to see if they would do this.

Quick Update:

I went to Vinam today at about 3:00. It took them half the time everyone else quoted me at 1/3 the price everyone else quoted me. Car runs fine and looks great.

THANKS GSTEG and Vinam

Yea. They're usually awesome about price and actual labor time.

Yeah, I kinda have a feeling that Dynamic's rates is probably on the high side. They're good tho. I'll try Vinam (???) next time. Got the number saved in to my cell phone. Thanks a bunch.

+eleventybillion for Vinam.

I had brakes, exhaust, control arm bushings installed by Tho. All for reasonable prices. The price he gave me for the control arm bushings was a steal compared to other shops. He worked until 11 PM to make sure I had my car ready for school the next day. Like Henry said, he has a modded 2GS so he knows his way around the car pretty well.

Tell him to get a lowered car friendly one so he can rake in the dough.
