I purchased a new 1/4 panel for my 96' Celica GT from rockauto.com for $180. It comes primed and certified (whatever that means). It also comes with mounting hardware. I'm thinking this is going to be a piece of cake job. Just remove the old one by basically turning a wrench right? And then get the new one painted to match and install. Easy right? Or not?

yes, and no. the fender is held on by a bunch of 10mm bolts. you have to take the the front bumper, low beam light and wheel well out too. the fit is not always 100%. make sure you have a few hours to do this project.

yea your talking about a fender not a quarter pannel...the 1/4 pannel is in the rear of the car and to replace that includes cutting, welding, grinding, bondo, primer, and paint (not a cake walk if ya know what i mean) lol...fender on the other hand is a cake walk...look for the bolts in the inside of the door jam as well as underneath the car..there should be 2 under there holding it on as well, 3 up front, 4 or so under the hood, and your good to go

if this is your first time taking off the front bumper... there are three nuts on each side... 10mm that connect the front bumper to the fender.... they can be a PITA.. best bet is to get them from underneath or make a really long extrension
