How much do you think it's be to have a shop install a fender and header panel?

Replace them yourself and then have them painted. It's not that hard and it will save you money on the body shop bill.

its super easy im 16 and did it effortlessly.

when you pop the hood look by the radiator behind the header panel and you will see torx screws. take em all out

take out the headlights and blinkers and you will see more torx, so take em out too.

the the header panel will fall off.

that leaves you free and clear to tackle the fender.. look under the hood on the inside, and then there are some behind where the headlights are, and 1 or 2 underneath the truck (get on the ground and look up)

and then open up the door and in between the body and door you will see 2 (1 on top of the other)

take those off and the fender will drop to the ground!

my jeep was in a front end collision so ya i had to take off and replace both front fenders and the header panel and the hood.. hope i was able to help, if not pm me and i will get some pics
