Installing fenders?

Hey guys,

Do you think I should have the body shop install my fenders for me when they paint them or should I save money and install them myself? I'm pretty sure I can do them myself but I wanted to get other input from people who have tackled this project. I'll probably be able to save at least a couple hundred dollars if I were to install them myself. Thanks guys!

Its a piece of cake, just watch the door alignment closely.

get painters tape and put on all other panel edges to avoid bumping and chipping paint on other surfaces..time consuming, but if you want it done rt!

I would pay someone to do it right the first time. Im not saying that you can't install them correctly but I would rather pay someone who does auto bodywork for a living instead of being pissed at myself for jacking up the parts.
