Lotion, the bumper cover and underneath supports are pretty easy to do. As for the body panel, be ready for a lot of on and off. The trick is you need to get spacers to get the body panel hung in the right spot. Otherwise the parts of the body are not going to match up and in some cases, the quarter panel can sit back far enough to come in contact with the door which will lead to the body panels rubbing together.

If you want some help and don't mind a little bit of a drive, I am just over the Maryland/VA line and I can help you get this taken care of. I'm down in the California, MD area.

That would be great! There was talk of it costing me a lot of money to get it fixed so I wanted to possibly buy the panels myself and install
