I was removing my driver side quarter panel, got all out but 2 bits and those 2 are striped. How can I remove them? (I know I could prolly search this but I find it Easier to do this)

You can drill into the middle of the bolt a little way and then reverse the bit outward. this usually will take the stripped bolt out with the drill bit. at least that's been my experience with too many stripped bolts/screws. good luck.
