Are you looking at the Loma kit? The panels just remove with bolts and go back the same way

If you're mechanically inclined, you can do it yourself. I did the rears myself in about an hour. Do a search, there's a post here on the forum with detailed instructions and pictures. I down loaded the thread, read it and used it as a guide. Very easy to do.

I might have to try it my self. Did you get the pre panited rears or did you have them painted?

thanks

I picked mine up from an ad on Craig's List, had a friend paint them and installed them myself. I ordered all the inner fenders and ducts from a Chevy dealer. It only takes about 15 minutes to unbolt the stock fenders and about as long to install the new ones.
