what do I get myself into (bumper)
I just got new brakes, slotted rotors and painted my calipers red however tonight I was just putting in the new pads when all of a sudden I had the sudden urge to take my front bumper off and my passenger fender because of some body damage. side note-if anyone has a black front bumper and passanger side fender I'll buy it. Anyways I could really use some help getting this bumper off and fender is there any instructions out there that I could fallow to get this off. This is my first body endevor so I have no idea what I'm doing, Thanks!

ok to take off bumper cover...
1. take off bolts along top
2.remove ftp lenses and take off bolts behind them..i think.
3.inside the wheel well, either remove the thin plastic liner in the front of the wheel or just bend it outta the way...
4. use a long extension and a 10mm socket to remove bolts that go from sides of bumper cover to front of fender.
5. remove trim thingy under bumper cover
6. remove bumper cover.
after you do this:
fender:
remove bolts that are like under the hood rail on top of fender.
remove bolts on the bottom of fender
remove bolts on back of fender.
take off fender.
(i might have forgot some **** on the fender....)

The plastic inside of the wheel well, remove it completely. It will make things much easier.
Removing the plastic piece exposes several bolts (inside of the fender). One is back towards the door (about half way up). The rest are along the front of the fender. 2 of these bolts are actually nuts that hold the front bumper on.
The locations of the remaining fender bolts are as follows:
- All along the top of the fender.
- There is one toward the top that is exposed when you open the door.
- There are 2 (I think) on the front of the fender that are exposed when you take off the bumper.
- There are 4 on the bottom of the fender (2 in front of the wheel, and 2 behind)
I think that does it.
