Default Rear Quarter Panel Removal

How do you take it off? I've got huge paint cracking in it, and it seems cheaper to just replace the whole thing - does it come off easily? 2/6 in diagram.

it is all connected into once piece, if you are experienced with welding and torch cutting it may be easy, but will take sometime to match up the quarter panel perfectly.

This is a big job, I am in the process of doing it right now on my crx. You will have to remove the window glass, bumber, tail lights and trunk lid,, get a good spot weld cutter because there are a lots to drill out, also you have to remove the seam sealer. You may have to remove the trunk seal. You can hack saw or grind the quarter where it meets the roof.

Yeah, I looked a little closer and it looks to be way too big a job for me, since I'm just making the car better to sell it, LOL
