formula doors fit on camaro

Some woman ran into my Camaro a couple of weeks ago and destroyed the driver's side door and fender. My question is will the door off of a 90 formula fit my 89 Camaro?

Thanks
Tim

Yes. All thirdgen doors are the same, save for varous ground-effects mounting holes, but the formula door won't have those anyway.

I will suggest, however, that if possible, get the door off a car with the same options as yours... power/manual windows, and/or power/manual door locks. It'll make your life MUCH easier if you don't have to swap the guts from one door to the other.

if she ran into you...why are you doing all the work??? I would imagine that she would have to pay for it to be done correctly/the right way right?

Her insurance is paying for it, but I dont trust a body shop to do it right. I have a custom paint job that me and a friend of mine did and the body shop would not be able to reproduce it. Plus, doing it myself allows me to pocket about $2000 in profit.
