Swapping doors
Both of my doors have some small rust spots on the bottom of them. Instead of trying to fix it, I found a set of doors at a local car yard that are the same color as my car. So how hard is it to remove the doors and put the new ones on? Can I do it myself or is it really a 2 or 3 person job?

It's do-able on one's own, but easier with a friend. I've done mine on my own. Pretty simple, seven bolts and a harness iirc.

You *could* but that doesn't mean you *should*. A second pair of hands, if it can be arranged, would be very helpful. I've replaced a door by myself on the Elantra and it kind of sucked but I did it. The doors on 2-door cars tend to be longer so probably heavier than 4 door cars.
