how to remove front fenders?
already did a search for "how to remove fenders" and nothing came up that was helpful. basically im trying to remove my front left fender to fix a dent left by the previous owner. just wondering where the bolts are located and if theres any other things i need to remove to be able to take out the fender.

for driver side:
turn the wheel to the right. remove a few screws and loosen the black plastic splash guard. when you peel it back you will have access to the bolts for the headlights and the bumper. both are held on to the fender with 2 10mm nuts. after dropping the bumper a bit there us one more 10mm you have to remove to loosen the fender from the headlight/bumper support.
remove headlight
then there are 10mm bolts in the engine bay when you pop the hood. remove all of those.
when you get on your knees and look under the car you will see two more 10mm botls near the pinch-weld/rocker panel area. they are usually covered in the factory back undercoating. when you remove the undercoating, remove the bolts. they have spacers behind them so try not to lose those.
there might be one more or so that i missed but i have not looked at my car for a while
