3 nuts on each side, and 4 bolts on top. Not hard at all.

its a pita but i got it down now after doing it a few times.

- unbolt the fender liner
- pop up the lights and remove the black plastic headlight surround
- remove all of the bolts securing the bumper under the hood
- from the fender well, remove the one screw and 3 bolts behind the bumper

i think that should do it. refer to the FSM for more info. Its in the faq thread.

You can either remove the front wheels (which would be easiest) or turn them accordingly to get to the nuts inside the fender.

You don't need pictures. With this car, you kind of have to just learn and dig in.
