so, I've been thinking, "Maybe it's time I get the bodywork replaced on my 2G TL, but the dealer's body shop suxx, 90% of body shops around here are too expensive, so if I could find out how to remove them myself, I could replace them cheaper."

some immediate issues arose after just five minutes of research:

1. Google/Bing/Yahoo/DuckDuckGo all give terrible search results.
2. no idea if some of the bodywork are separate parts or the unibody itself.
3. I'm also slightly retarded.

I'll try and take some pics later if I can. (warning: might be potato-quality because they'll be taken on an old iPad or my Samsung Galaxy Note. If I can use my GoPro in still-cam mode, even better, but the wide-angle might be an issue, so you'd end up with HD pics with potato-quality lens.)

 

What panels need repair? The only ones that dont unbolt are the 2 rear quarter panels, and roof. Everything else comes off with unbolting it.

 

so, basically, what you're telling me is, the most dented-to-hell parts are not removable...

'scuse me as I go run into a wall, full-tilt-sprint, head first.

 

Quarter panels are replaceable. Not exactly a DIY but a bodyshop can replace them.
