All doors regardless of model (SE, SLE, SSEi, and GXP) are direct bolt on. All but the SE has cladding on the doors but can be removed and the holes are already there for the SE door trim to bolt up. So, any door for 2000 - 2005 will work and they are VERY easy to swap out too. On the door hinges on the top of them is a bolt, remove that bolt and unplug the door harness at the body, then the door simply lifts off.

Connectors between the main body harness and the door wiring harness are not the same for all years. I'm not sure exactly what year they changed but you may need to swap the wiring from your original door.

Yes, forgot about that. As mentioned though the door harness can be swapped and isn't hard to do. I believe the change occurred between 2002 and 2003 but not 100% sure on that. Andrew would know for sure.
