Default Are rear fenders removable???

Like the title says can they be taken off.? I have some dents in mine and thought sense it will need repainted; it would be cheaper to buy a used fender. All i can find is front fenders for sale, so i wasn't sure if they even could be removed.

To remove them and replace them would take a bit of skill. You would need to drill out all the spot welds. If your 1/4 panels have a few minor dents then I would just have them repaired properly. I bought a 4th gen and I just finished replacing the driver side 1/4 panel because the original one had a **** load of body filler and was damaged pretty good. So I bought a pair of clean panels to replace them. I'll be posting up progress of my car soon.

Everything is technically removable on a car.

Try a PDR place: Paintless Dent Repair. This is if there aren't creases, paint cracks of flakes to go with the dents.

God this kills me! If your talking about a camaro they do not have rear fenders! They are quarter panels! A fender is bolt on, a quarter is welded on. If your talking about a corvette (which I know your not because you said dents).... Then yes they are bolt on an can be removed and are fenders hence being bolted on. But your best bet is PDR if they aren't creased or cracking paint.
