They cost something like $250 each just to buy them. Then add to that the installation and painting. I repaired mine by getting a roll of flashing from Home Depot, rolled it on, trimmed it here and there, and then pop-riveting it in place. I then primed it and sprayed on some undercoating. Due to the moldings along the bottom of the doors, you can't tell I ever did anything to it unless you got down on your hand and knees and looked close. Total repair was under $20 and under 4 hours. It would've been less but I had drying times to deal with. All in all I figure I saved over $1,200 over what an auto body shop would've charged.
