Fenders are just bolted on. The rocker panels however are glued on.
And yes, I think the bars you mention are the radiator support bars.

Your rockers are glued and have a couple of rivets. You'll need to remove the doors and both the front and rear fenders. You'll need to fit and align them using the fenders.
Then glue and clamp in place. Not a fun job, trust me.

If your front inner fender well is damaged, they are glued on.

the only thing that concerns me is that the fiberglass is pushed in a little and is pretty close to the tire. i was thinking that maybe it could be pulled out or something. this is why i opped for a new rocker.
