I removed the body panels myself. If you are even slightly mechanically inclined, you won't have any problems. It only takes an hour or so, and should save you quite a bit of money on R&R. I have a close friend that is a custom painter, so I got a ridiculously cheap deal on the finishing. To put the panels back on, I purchased new fasteners from worldimpex.com for about $40 shipped. I'd be happy to share the part numbers and quantities of the replacement fasteners if anyone needs them. I can also share the procedure I used to remove everything, just send me a PM.
Yes, please send me a PM with instructions and the part numbers and quantities of fasteners you need. I was going to try and take off the panels myself and take in to save on a lot of the labor costs.
