So my question is is there any custom DWM that can entirely replace explorer.exe and window frames on Windows 8, and if not is it even possible to create one?

The Windows user interface is, compared to DWMs on Linux based destributions, connected deeper to the actual OS. This makes replaceing the UI harder.

There are projects which try to replace some parts of it. For example the start menu of Windows 8 (StartIsBack). Here is a list of Windows Shell replacements: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_alternative_shells_for_Windows.
