why would you want to remove the fender???? 10 MM and 13 MM are your best friends. There's alot involved in that, and you also have to pull off the rocker panel covering at least in the front to pull it off. on top of pulling off the complete nose.

If you were installing Gary's new vented fenders!

Yes, there are 3-4 bolts that attach it to the bumper

Got hit recently and luckily it just damaged the front right passenger fender. Gonna go with the vented fender and would like to install them myself to save money but was wondering if I have to remove the door as well as the diagram shows that its not there?

No. The one bolt you need you are able to get to with the door all the way open.

Someone that hasn't done it before can normally remove and reinstall both fenders in under 2 hours. The most time consuming part for someone who has never done it before is removing the front fascia.

Awesome that's great news! Thanks again for the replies man, I appreciate it. I'll post again next week with the after pic and report in how it went. Poor baby looks terrible right now

The only one that I don't see mentioned yet. is the one under the fender behind the foam support.
After you remove the 2 from the door side, the 4 from the hood side and the ones from the bumper side. its the last one to get to.
see pic.
remove the press on star nut remove the foam and there is a 10mm nut under there.
