The other day I was driving and I herd something rubbing against the tires, so when I got home I went and checked it out and discovered that the inner fender had come undone and was hanging loose. So I jerry-rigged it up with some zip-ties. A couple days later I herd the same thing, and turns out I might have had the radio up too loud because the thing was chewed up. Anyone got any idea how hard it is to replace it? I found the parts online and I figured it couldn't be that hard. Any help will be appreciated.

Not hard at all. Just loosen the wheel, jack up the car, place a stand underneath and remove the wheel. Remove what's left of the old 1 and line up the new 1 in place. Make sure you put all clips and push trees back into place. Try not to leave any of them holes empty.
Got it? If not, I can give you a hand. I'm in Mass too, but I'm 15min south of Boston.

I figured it wasn't that hard, but I wanted to check before I jumped into in. Thanks for the help man!

Thanks again, do you happen to know the supplies that I would need? Just so I can be prepared.

I'm guessing those could be found easily at like an auto zone or something right?

When you take your old fender out, you can see which clips/screws you'll need.

Some of these: https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/12/BjPtCgBGkKGrHgoHDMEjlLltmFiBKc2WkrZ4w_35-1.jpg and some are 10mm bolts with receiving clips. Yes, AutoZone/Advanced should carry them as well as Home Depot/Lowes or any hardware store too.

If you want you can download the FSM (factory service manual) from my signature, then go to :
Body Section > Body and Exterior > MSA5TCD99L375.pdf .. that is the PDF with instructions on removing a front fender on a subaru BD (95-99). Yours should be similar. You may even be able to find the factory manual for your year car on here as well.

Thanks for that! I have the complete manual for my car downloaded somewhere in this mess on my computer. I'll certainly look.
