Body parts interchangeable

My son somehow hit a dumpster and jacked the passenger front door on his 2005 manual trans car. It's going to be cheaper to find a replacement door than have it fixed. Are all year doors interchangeable? I imagine I can swap all the door components from our door onto the new one just wondering if I can do it for all years or only 2004-2008? Also same question for front bumper.

Hey Bahiaman,
welcome to the 8club.
Sorry to hear about the damage to the vehicle but yes, fortunately all parts from 2004-2008 are compatible.
in fact, a 2009 door might even work. maybe?

If you can't find replacement parts locally, check with the crew at Mazmart.com they might have something for you

Doors should be interchangeable, there may be minor wiring differences between the model years and equipment differences as well (sensors, antennas, speakers). Worth inspecting those items during the swap. Otherwise the doors should be the same. Also note, some colors had slight changes made over the years that could cause a mismatch, and even if you got the exact paint code as your car there are factors like sun bleaching and general variances in application from factory that can cause the paint to not be a perfect match. Just thinks to keep in mind
