    Hello all! Gen 2 owner here. I couldn’t help myself and picked up a 2021 model from a salvage auction. It was a good price and looks to just need doors. In a perfect world I could find the exact color and just do a swap. Is anyone aware of where I would find any 089 color code door? I need both the front and rear drivers door.

    Additionally the shop that had it before the salvage yard did some disassembly so I may need some help putting everything back together later but right now my priority is doors!

    The support pillar isn't bent, damaged, pushed or pulled on the uni-body wield points? I'm assuming you checked the roof line for bends and dips. That would be the reason to scrap such a new car. If all it needs is a couple of door skins - it should've been fixed.
    Check with Copart....

    Good Luck....

    Pretty crazy, right? I plan to keep the car as my own, so I am not looking to flip it and I am also okay with it not being perfect. The front bumper has some paint missing where it snaps in to the body, probably from the collision shop. It does need full doors. The damage to the doors seems a little more than just the skins. The rear doors top hinge is absolutely bent and needs replaced. Both of those rear hinges do. There is a small scuff on the rear quarter panel. A little rock chip on the hood. The striker for the rear driver door is pulled out slightly about half an inch so its not sitting flat on the jamb there in the back (wouldve been a weld repair for sure, we are just going to do some percussive maintenance). The middle pillar is not in bad shape in terms of bent in or twisted or anything, but I can see it has signs of the accident in terms of the metal not being perfectly flat everywhere when viewing from an angle and with lights. Roof looks absolutely fine. Body line from front drivers door to fender is even. Body line on the other side of the car between the doors is good. Some trauma did happen to the support pillar for sure but I dont think enough to have a replacement or even body work done. Airbags did not deploy, sitting in the car and turning it on yields no warning lights, all functions of the vehicle work and when I drive it up and down a long driveway it doesnt pull, make weird noises or anything. Obviously putting on proper doors will be a big part in telling us how much more we need to do to get this on the road. Out the door with fees was $10,500. It has 62k miles. 2021 Prius Limited.

    I am certain if a collision shop was going to fix this and do it right and return any and all damaged bits to factory condition the bill easily wouldve added up and totaled the car.
