Bought a new pass-side fender - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #67286 6 posts Started by 6G96GT
Is this going to be a quick and easy install? I just bought a new passenger side front fender.

Also, anyone know if Toyota sells paint to match my celica? Or is there another way I could get paint to make it match as closely as possible?

All i do is push the cover aside and reach in even with an open wrench, ive never used an extension.

bumper removal is a walk in the park with a lift of some sort - however, if you are looking to do this in a driveway without taking all the plastics off, may want to take a look at the 3 screws they are talking about, and possibly invest in an extension & joint to make things easier

If i recall, you can take the top 4 bolts and bottom 5 or whatever bolts that hold the bumper on, then three bolts that connect the bumper and fender. then there are about 2 bolts that hold the front of the fender on, 3 easy to reach ones along the hood line, and another 2-3 on the door side

hardest part is finding a close paint color to match - unless your car is black or white

you know why they put sheep at the edge of a cliff.... that way they push back!(2:27:32 AM) edit: please f*cking work, f*ck, sh*t, piss(2:28:08 AM) edit: that did the trick
