Yeap, fender is welded,l I'll show you



As you can see on this picture I have no bumper, but the fender still on.



In this picture the back fender was already cut out from the car. The same thing happen to that front fender on the first picture.

The front fender is not welded on. If you take off the plastics under the hood you will see a strip of plastic trim that is held in by a couple of clips/pins. pull that piece off and you will see fender bolts. after you find those open the drivers door and look in the jam and you will see another bolt near the top. Your also gonna have to pull the side skirt back and under there will be one or two bolts(not sure). Take the front bumper off and you will find a few more in the headlight area. When you get the new fender look at that one to see exactly where the bolts are.

As far as Rafiton's pics go the front fender is new in that pic so I don't really understand his statement. As far as the back goes yes the rear quarter panels are spot welded on and have to be cut off.
