Default How Easy is to Change a front Fender

I swapped some paint with a road barricade and [thanks to the awesome wax job 2 days before] only left 2 nasty dents on my front fender. I was able to straighten it out but paintless dent removal is out of the question. I got no paint chips or cracks and the scrapes just came right off.

Anyway, im looking online for an OEM painted fender for like $150 vs. $300 for a body shop fix.

How easy is it to replace? Does it require welding or is it bolt on?

its bolt on. there is one bolt on the rocker panel. one bolt that you have to have the door open to get to. its right by the mirror. two bolts across the top under the hood and i thik there is one or maybe two by the headlight. they are all 10mm. its a very easy job. if you have a fender liner still it needs to come off first.
