Atempted Break-in is really just Vandlism, As long as they just mess up your car and not steal anything. Options

So about a month ago someone tried to break into my car. All they where successful at doing was bust the hell out of both door handles. The back half of the handle is gone as is half of the key cylinder. It still locks as they where unable to get in but to get out of the driver side I have to roll down the window and open it from the outside.

I take it to a body shop and they tell me (after waiting for them to call for 3 weeks) that the parts are on back order from Toyota.

So long story short, I will be getting a check from insurance in a few days, I have messed up door handles, and I have no idea what to do with it.

Could someone please direct me to someplace or someone that might have the parts?

Did the door handles go unchanged for the whole 6th gen?

I think the mr2 and 5th gen celica uses same door handles.. I never checked it out, but they look pretty similar. My 5th gen, I swear, I'm sure they are the same.
Somebody can probably look up for parts number, maybe they're the same outside but different inside.

as for the key cylinder, you need to go to dealer to get some that matches your key.
