Sure, if it is from the same model case, most all are different.

Pretty much yes, the chances a side panel from a different chassi would work on your chassi would be quite small

It also depends upon how cheap the case is and whether there's support for it. Not every company or manufacturer will provide case parts. It may be easier and less costly to buy a new case.

What about modding ?????????
A transparent side panel if your are having good dashing interior ?? With some lights ? Blue or red or green or orange or any

OR some hard cardboard with carbon fibre sheet pasted on it as a side panel ....
