They will probably replace the doors with either new or from a car which was smashed in on the drivers side. The biggest area of concern will be the rear 1/4 which they will either pop out the dent then bondo smooth or they will cut it out and replace. I would think that they would pop it out and bondo. Because its a new car they should have no problems matching the paint. Just because its a Honda Dealer does not always mean they have the best painters or body guys. In my area we have several mom and pop body shops which do excellent work which I would not hesitate to take my car to. You may want to ask State Farm about deminished value. This is what they give over the repair for the deminished value of your car because it was in a wreck. Not sure if this would qualify but it does not hurt to ask.
