Default Door shaved problem

Hey CL, today i just picked up another gs300. i know alot of people are gunna want to trash talk me for buying a car that has shaved door handles but it has under 100k and i paid a decent price, please leave the slick comments to yourself.. okay now the problem is that i dont care for the shaved door handles and would like to get at least the drivers side door back. My question is that if i buy another door of a parts car, can i get the factory alarm to work with the door lock mechanism? any knowledge of this would be greatly appreciated

It Shouldn't be a problem . But I would leave it as is because it would look funny with only one handle

There should be a emergency wire to open manually if not install one also get a door popper for the passenger side.. I wouldn't spend the money on new doors.
