I pondered this same question on the passenger side of mine. I hated the thought of destroying original rust free body metal but, that was until I got into it and realized that even though it had not rusted thru it had become paper thin over the years. I was also glad that I had ordered the complete panel as it was almost as thin at the top as it was near the bottom... The amount of time saved and the better clean up and proper prep of the hidden areas was well worth the extra few dollars spent on the complete panel..
