I'm pretty sure all car panels are removable, I mean they aren't welded on. Even then, you could remove them and replace them.

I didn't want to say it, but at least around here saturn parts are VERY scarce(used parts). You might call around first to see if they even have one!

ok well.. luckily the parts are removeable.. i was told Saturns are the only cars like this, all the others, the parts are apart of the car.. luckily we scored a mint rear panel, but its gold.. no big deal though, a friend of mine is going to paint the new panels red with some car paint.. we still gotta find a front fender... also here is a question... when you repaint a car a different color, say, red to black.. i know you have to get the title changed.. but what if you paint it a different color red? like bright red to a dark red? then do you have to get it changed?

No the color listed on the title is just a generalization... and you only have to worry about changing the color on the title when you sell it.

That's why I like driving around in 60s/70s trucks. Hit the deer, sling it about 50 feet, throw the deer in the bed, take the truck to the quarter wash and rinse the blood and hair off the grill. Good as new!

ok guys, i got the new panel put on.. fits good..
test fit:
and here is the finish work:
also a good friend of mine is going to paint the new panels, but the red isnt the same red as my Saturn he says, but ohwell. its better than gold, but sooner or later ill just get whole car repainted.. maybe.. depends on how she acts.. but im mostly just glad that ive got a new rear fender on, now i just gotta find a front one..

Looks good :)
Now ya just gotta do something about the front... and just as a good idea, if you are driving the car right now. Get some heavy duty zip-ties for that wiring harness cause them lil clips don't hold the greatest.

UPDATE!!!:
well, the place i got the gold fender, recently got a 93 Saturn, same color and everything, and they were nice enough to let me trade for the red one, while i was there, i snagged the front fender and a new side mirror and rearview mirror
here are some pics, they were taken with the cell, ohwell:
finally, she is all the same color!, i washed her earlier and now she matches better, the car was really dirty because i didnt see a reason in washing it since it wasnt even all together, plus the weather has been crappy.
