I apologize in advance if this has already been posted already but I am planning on replacing both rear quarter panels, right front fender and buying an oem hood. I read in a thread that fenders are the same throughout all years but does this apply with quarter panels and hoods? I have an 05 coupe will i be fine if i take one off any 03-07 coupe?

I am aware how to take off fenders, is it the same process with the rear quarter panels?

 

Yes! The information you heard is correct!

 

Process for removing used quarter panels involves a saw and/or plasma cutter and welding.

 

thank you!! so everything among these years all are the same except for the headlights right? don't they fit differently on each year

 

is it too difficult to do all on your own and install it back on your car, or would i need professional help? both of rear fenders are bent terribly from car being too low so i was looking to replace both quarter panels. Called up a junkyard and they have both and quoted me $100 for each

 

unless you have a background in paint and body work, it's best left up to a professional body shop.
Junkyard is going to take a sawzall to a used car and leave you to figure out how to remove all the extra welded on body panel pieces.

 

Not only are the quarter panels welded to the car, they are integral to the structure of the vehicle as well. If you don't have serious body and paint experience then it's best to have someone do the work for you, because you will almost certainly do more damage than good to your vehicle.

My guess is that it would be far easier to repair the existing quarter panels than to replace them.

 

Installing rear quarters isn't a "Plug & Play!"
