'03 and '08 front doors the same?

I know the outer shell is the same, but is the inner shell the same for mounting door panel, etc? I found a white door off an '08 in perfect condition and would like to use it on my '03.

Thanks!

I did a search on car-part.com and the newest thing that popped up for an '03 was '07. I also searched for an '08 door and the oldest thing that popped up was '08. It looks like the answer is most likely "no".

Would you quit crashing that thing! My understanding is that the Only difference is the interior door panel mounting bracket positions, FWIW

If that's the case, I'm wondering what all is different. All the tab cutouts in the door, or just the plastic bracket position? If its too difficult to use the '08 door I won't mess with it.

According to the pictures in my '08+ service manual, the door panel mounts look the same, but who knows if they just used the same picture as previous years...

Haven't some people swapped to the '08 door panels? What all was involved?

I know a lot of guys have run the 08 door panels and the 08 mirrors but I just don't know what the diff is, you would think someone else would chime in here by now!
