My P71 Crown Vic got hit in the front passenger side fender and door. Thankfully I am ok and the car is largely ok. No frame or pillar damage. The damaged door still opens and closes fine but it looks terrible now and needs replacing. The odd issue I have is that my P71 has the somewhat rare dual spotlight option and its near impossible to find a passenger side front door with a factory spotlight notch. I got a white replacement door and need to figure out what tool to use to carefully cut out a notch. The spotlight manufacturer, Unity was kind enough to send me a install template PDF which is a great help. The factory notch on the old door is a half oval and has a special trim piece I can transfer over to the new door after its cut. So I don't have to worry about getting the cut super clean as the trim piece can hide some of it. Any suggestions for such an oddball issue?
Here is an internet picture to help visualize what I am talking about.
Crown Vic doors wrap around the front pillars. This makes it so that any pillar mounted spotlight requires a the door to be notched to clear it when closed.
