What should I do???
Ok. today I got in a minor accident. I was switching lanes and a trucks bumper scaped and put a dent in my drivers side rear door. I pulled the door panel off and fixed the dent the best I could but there is still a dent there that is highly noticable. I cant pop the rest out because of the metal bar that is in the way. What I need to know is...should I replace the door or bondo it? I also need a trim piece for that door. I think it would be easiest to bondo it because I have to bondo a dent in the guarter panel back towards the taillight on that same side. Also should I just get the trim piece at a slavage yard? AND...What color should I paint my car? It has to match the blue interior. Let me know what you guys would do.

Hard to say really...the value in the car is basically gone...(no offense, just thinkin about age...I'm in the same boat)
But looking for the trim from a wrecker is a good call. If you are going to do the body work and repaint yourself then go for it...but a body shop will take everything from you to fix it...
Good luck...my local wrecker had 3 87-91 models for me to pillage from. I hope you have the same luck

I'm pretty sure that the salvages around here will have several 87-91'* because I see them everyday. I think I am going to paint the car dark blue metallic and redo my interior. I don't care what everybody thinks about the bonneville(being a g-ma car and all!) because I think it isnt terribly slow like a civic and it rides really smooth. That is why I want to fix it!

Oh..I don't disagree with you at all...its one of the best looking 15 year old cars I have ever seen. The styling is fantasic. It should be a fun restoration project for you.
Good luck
