Yes... any Firebird/Camaro 82-92 Door.. Will fit any OTHER Firebird/Camaro 82-92... I just did this to my car haha it looks funny tho cuz it's red and my car is blue but I'm about to get it painted... you will either have to fill in the old ground effects holes or drill new ones if your ground effects don't fit.

I didn't take the fender off... prolly should have... I have small hands so me and my dad held the door up and kinda opened the door so I stuck my hand in between the fender and it was hard as anything 2 screw the bolts. All you do though is disconnect ur battery so it doesn't die with having the door off. Then you just open the door... take off ur kick panel to get the 3 bolts at the bottom. Then use wrenches and sockets 2 get the bolts off the top and bottom hinges... then the door will come off. It's good to have someone help you as the doors are heavy and will bend the hinges if you don't have the door propped on blocks or something when one hinge is undone.

Open the door only slightly, 3" or so. Then grasp the bottom rear of the door. Lift up on the door. If the hinges are worn out,(as they usually are)then you will see it. The LOWER hinge can be repaired with about $4.00 worth of parts. The only way to fix the UPPER hinge is to buy a new GM hinge, and then cut the old one off the door, as it is welded to the door. Or you can get an UPPER hinge repair kit from www.3rdgensolutions.com It takes about 2 hours to install, and you do not need to remove the door from the car.
