a car apart...

I'm wondering how hard it is to remove the fenders on our CL.

I'm having a crazy Dr. Frankenstein idea that I wanna do and I already know how to remove the hood and front bumper...just need help on the fenders

I would imagine its pretty easy, never actually tried to remove them off of the CL but i did do it to my brothers 03 accord so i imagine its similar.

well since i have some blemishes on my front end lol I'm gonna skip the bodyshop and take the hood, front bumper and fenders from a ABP CL and put it on my SSM

it will certainly look 'unique' until i find time to get it painted either the SSM or I might like the ABP and get the rest of the car repainted lol

bumper + mudflaps has to come out before the fenders do. I'm not sure about the headlights.

also I believe the side skirts have to come out.
