My insurance (Nationwide) had a premium OEM replacement option that I got on my insurance. It cost a few $ extra a month, but if I got into any accident, they would replace with brand new OEM parts instead of their standard, which was used or non-OEM replicas.

I know it sucks, but you can always pay the difference and get the OEM parts.

I would get a lawyer and have them deal with the insurance and the body shop, they'll take 25% from your settlement and you don't have to pay anything out of your own pocket and just wait for your car get fixed and get free rental of you choice. I'm currently going through the process also.

That is terrible advice, IMO. You don't need a lawyer for something this simple.

Contact your insurance, get them to fix the car, pay the deductible, let them deal with getting their money back from the other insurance, and also get you a refund for your deductible. Your insurance will probably be easier to deal with, as you are a paying customer. Don't deal with the other guy's insurance directly, that makes it easier for them to cut corners.

Did the OP ever say what state that he or she is from? This whole thread might be moot if he or she is in a no-fault state.

Maryland, I believe.

OP, just replace it with a used OEM door of the same color. This is going to match your paint better than any shop will, no exceptions.

MD is not a no-fault state. Carry on.
