How hard is it. I'm helping a friend out tomorrow and just looking to find out how hard it is. He has a replacement fender and the plastic piece for the fender wall around the wheel well. It's a 96 Civic, I think EL, deffinetly not the hatchback. Thx in advance

simple... i just did it on my 98 sedan... just take it off (like 3 or 4 screws actually hold it in place), then put the new one on. Might require some fitment, but other than that, it's simple.

thx. Hardest part about the whole thing was getting the side trim along the rocker panel off, didn't know which way to go. Got it done in a couple of hours and some new clips
