How complicated is the job?

 

its cake. 3 or 4 bolts on top, 2 on the bottom, 1 when u open the door and then a few with your inner fender, oh and one by the headlight. I think that's all. Let me know if you have any questions.

 

does replacing the fender require removal of door, hood, or bumper?

 

no you just have to unbolt the bumper from the fender. you dont have to take anything off.

 

when you said 3 or 4 bolts on top, 2 on the bottom, do you mean top and bottom? Literally top and bottom of fender?

 

there are 3 or 4 bolts when you open your hood and look at the fender. you'll be able to see some of them and there is 1 or 2 hiding under your cowl panel. the two on the bottom are at the very bottom by your wheel. I think you should be able to get to them without taking off your sideskirt or mudflap thing. If you have any more questions just let me know. I'll double check tomorow and see if i missed anything or take pics if you need em. jus let me know.

 

does OEM fenders come painted or no?

 

it primed not painted.= ready to paint. I've never taken off a fender off a max but I've done to my other car. It's very easy take like evernone said( a few bolts)but the hard part is putting in . no matter what you do you will get gaps every where.

 

how much is it roughly to get a fender painted?

 

primed and already installed on the car... anywhere from 120-250 depending on the paint they use and the shop itself.
If you want the shop to install and paint the fender... you're looking at 300ish and up

 

Damn, dude what happened? Get in an accident?

 

getting a fender painted varies from shop to shop and also what color it is and if it requires any blending. If it requires blending then they will install the fender before they paint it. Putting on a fender is not hard, and by the way, your supposed to have gaps. OEM fenders will/should fit just like factory it's when you get cheap and buy an aftermarket fender that it gets difficult. drilling out bolt holes, bad fitment, and crooked gaps are a pain. I know OEM my cost is around $180 i would just spring for that and save yourself fitment time and get a much better look in the end. Ofcourse you could try to go aftermarket but you never know how its going to fit until you get it on there and by then it's too late.

 

some guy w/ a trailer backed into me and put 2 holes on my fender.
