I have a 89 camaro rs I'm trying to replace the fender. How do you take the fender off do you have to take the bumper off to take off the fender?

Re: fender

Yep, you have to take off the chin spoiler, bumper, the hood, the ground effect skirts and fender liners - then just unbolt it and reverse everything to put it back together. It sounds alot harder than it is, just get a buddy to help you take off the hood and then take your time on the rest.

Re: fender

Thanks, are all the bolt easy to get to? I heard that there are some that go from the bumper to the fender and that they are hard to get to.

Re: fender

The top two bolts from the bumper to fender are bad, but I especially remember the drivers side one being a real beeotch
