removing a quarter panel on almost any car is not an easy task and should really be left to those who have experiance doing body work. It will be very easy to damage or distort it upon removal. It is spot welded on near the rear pillar near the top as well as at the rear of your drivers door,along the bottom behind the tire and along the hatch opening. To remove it clean is alot of work and takes skill.
