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? |

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!
