front or rear? rear is easy. there are a line of bolts that you can access from the inside once you move the carpet out of the way. there are also a couple or nuts/bolts that are accessable from under the car that hold the very sides on.
the front is a little more involved. you will need to unbolt the bottom lip that is also connected to the front fenders. this is done from the bottom. you will unbolt a line of bolts right by the hood latch, and finally you will need to remove 6 nuts/bolts from the sides, 3 on each side accessable from the wheel well once the plastic guard is removed.
hope that helps,

Yeah, listen to this guy hes 100% correct on taking it off. reasemble in reverse order.
To the original question... dude just look under the fenders...and you will need those 10mm thingys... and unscrew...do it...
