Replacing Pasenger Front Quarter Panel

[DMcBrideBoston]

Has anyone done this, or have any idea how this can be completed as I would much rather do it myself if possible.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks

I cant help you with your question. But, your last name is eerily close to mine, and im from the Boston area as well....scary!

Sorry i couldnt help though.

Are you talking about the front fender?? If so, that's nut and bolt work. Save your shims...get some more...and take a lot of time and patience getting the alignment perfect.

If it's an actual quarter panel you're talking about, that's major surgery and I doubt you would even consider trying it unless you're a very experienced body man. I would assume it's the fender you're talking about.

I don't know the difference I guess, I am talking about the piece in front of the door, over the wheel, which has the LS Badge on it. If it's nut and bolt work, do you have any idea where they are?

its not that bad

i had to take my fenders of when i put my lambo doors on. let me see if i can tell you where all the bolts are. under the hood, ther are three or four. you must then remove the black lining in the wheel well. there are two that connect the bumper to the fender, there are two in the inner front door jam by the door hinges. you must remove the plastic cover abover you lights, then you must remove the headlight on whichever side. now there is a cross brace/bumper that is in front of the car, you will see it when you take the headlight off, there are two bolts on it one on top and one on bottom, a little harder to get to. when you take these off, pull it forward. there is a little tab that holds the fender in place. i think thats about it. tools you will need, socket, ratchet, definitely an extension or two. the two that connect the bumper to the fender you must go from the bottom and not really any room.
