7gen front wings (fender) replacing DIY

[wahabishtiaq]

Hi,

I want to replace my accords front fenders as both have seen better days and can't afford the cost of repair and paint. Did anyone replace them in past? I heard people say they are not easy job, as alighnment with body is always a issues. Also heard requires removing of bumper and headlights as well...

Please share photos or diagrams if you can help me resolving this uncertain situation.

Many thanks

I've replaced one myself.
All bolts are easy to undo and get access to except for the one near the windshield. Had to remove the roof rubber seal to get access to it.
No need to remove front bumper altogether, just "unclip" the sides. I have type-s so had to remove the side skirt.
Other than that it is a very easy job to do really. The biggest pain in the backside is getting it perfectly aligned after you've fitted it.
