A door shell is just that, a shell, right? no window, interior, or anything just the metal? How easy is it to remove one from a parts car or should I just get the whole door? I'm going to look at a couple of parts cars today, the one I'm interested in is a 94 of the same color as mine. Would the door and trim as well as the fender fit on my '93? This guy is also parting a '90 or "91 I cant remember which, but would those parts fit as well? Any thoughts are good, THX

On my '93 there is a knob that says something like alarm volume on the lower left side of the dash near the trunk and gas tank buttons. If I remember correctly its a samll black knob. I'll double check tomorrow morning. I remember having a really soft beep for the locks when I first got my car so I read in the owners manual how to fix it. Yours might have just gotten turned all the way down. Hope that helps

killerfatty, if you are 15 years old, I would strongly advise you not to file a claim.

For now, just fix what is necessary to make the car driveable again and pay out-of-pocket for that expense. Worry about cosmetics later. You'll have another opportunity to get those fixed up. There are lots of Lexus LS cars in Kansas City and I'm sure you'll get yours fixed one way or another.

I just e-mailed someone I know who is parting out a tan 1993 LS 400. If he has the parts you need, I'll let you know. While not the correct color, a local salvage yard has a front fender for $175, and I believe another one close by has a door that shouldn't cost much more. Just to give you an idea.

Do you have the name of this junk yard? Please let me know more info about your friend parting out his 93 LS. What i would like to do is get a more relistic estamit and file a claim, then go out and find the used parts. I realise my rates will go up, and the value of the car is fairly low, but i do love this car and plan on keeping it until it dies.

I'm 15 years old. The insurance is under my dad's name, but still covers me. I have not made a claim, and i couldn't find an LS's being parted on craigs list. Currently My passenger door dosnt open, and my steering is a little iffy. How hard would it be to take off the door with it all bent up like that. Is there any write ups on busted door removal? Thx for all the help so far guys. I plan on geting the steering checked out on sunday or monday?

I would like to keep the car, and I dont expect any structual damage. The estimate i got is not offical and the insurance company hasn't said anything yet. If i can get a cheap enough estamet I would like to just pay the $500 and get it all fixed up. I don't yet know how much the insruance company says my car is worth, but hopefully it's around $4500ish. If this would have happened 17 days ago my car would be worth around $5K. I really don't want it to be totalled. Cross your fingers.

The first estamit is in and...(drum roll please) It's $4735.75. TOTALLED. I do think I can get a cheaper estamit though. I was recomendded this body shop by the CIO of a major company, and the first vehical I saw there was a Ferrarri 350 spider. I plan on checking with some other shops next week, and hopefully I can get the steering all sorted out before the weekend is over. Should it really cost $1100 for a door shell?

I'm taking it to a good body shop in ten minutes so I will know more in a bit. I do agree though, I think $500 is gone.

Yes I'm (thankfully) OK, and I do have collision coverage. Does anyone have any ideas on what something like this costs to fix. My diductable is $500. How much does it cost to have paint mathced? If I do find a good replacement door can I possibly swap them myself, or is it best to have it done by a pro?

What was lexus thinking putting that Focus grille on such a beautiful car. IMHO that ruined the whole car.

flexable

I installed the head unit successfuly and it works great. I did lose my sub, but i was wxpecting that. This morning, My car would not start, the battery is DEAD. I didn't have time to jump start the car, so it sat in the driveway all day. What could be the problem? Is there something that i need to do to the head unit or is it something worse?

Has anyone used Zecco. I was wondering if there is anything major i need to know that would impact me opening an account? any reviews/opinions? THX

I have a beautiful nearly 1 mile long straight right behind my neighborhod. I got to 118mph(in a 35 zone) before I had to brake for the stop light.

Wow! The $747 fine and $21 court costs for going 83 mph over in a 35 mph speed limit in Overland Park, Kansas will be the least of your worries if you get caught.

How do you figure the fines for a speeding ticket. Does it vary by city?

I have a beautiful nearly 1 mile long straight right behind my neighborhod. I got to 118mph(in a 35 zone) before I had to brake for the stop light. I am vary happy to have the 2piston brakes in my 93. I have been wanting to hook up a 5 or six speed manual gear box to a 1uz for a while ( http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...p;hl=trans+swap ), but i havn't had the time or $$ yet. If you do let me know. I am planing on copying your exhaust system, Jcrome, and cant wait to see the gains. I love speed and cool stories like this. :D

Thanks! That made my day :D
