Front fender replacement is a moderate DIY job. The fender typically bolts to the inner fender apron, cowl area, and sometimes the rocker panel. Replacement involves: removing the wheel for access, removing the inner fender liner, disconnecting any wiring for lights, removing bumper cover or grille sections if they overlap, removing fender bolts (usually 8-15), and lifting off the fender. Installation is the reverse, with careful alignment to ensure even gaps with hood and door. Color-matched fenders eliminate painting costs.
