987.1 large single-row IMS bearing

'03 door on a '97?

Can I fit a door from an '03 to my '97?

The door is just a bare shell. Mine has very slight damage and I would prefer to replace the door than have paint work done.

I have found a door in the...

Jake, you're not an independent source on the subject. It's that simple.

Pelican doesn't cover the Z4, only Z3.
