Stuck bolts are a problem. You might need a few new ones. You might need
to coerce some of the old ones to come out. I've seen some bolts painted
in place, maybe as the result of some repair work.

If you get a replacement fender, you should get a Honda part. A friend
went aftermarket on a VW, because the German parts prices are so high, but
it didn't really match up. On my BMW, factory parts came pre-painted,
which justified the high price for someone on a DIY job. I didn't need to
get it painted.
