I knew someone else was going to ask the rotor question. They look nice, but looks like its been dragged on rotors.

My buddy had his 300zx stolen and they took the rims and this exact thing happened to his rotors. All I could think of as a possibility now. lol

I can't imagine how that wouldn't cause a wheel imbalance issue.

HAHAHA My fenders had a ton of dirt and leaves too. My thought... Weight reduction! Excellent DIY, the bolts are a PITA to find.

If you have a 97+ dont forget to take the front half of the skirt off to access the bolts on the bottom of the fender.

Still a helpful thread a few years later.

I just removed my fender due to the paint peeling and metal rusting on the top. I removed it with the wheel on since that is what I will need to do in the salvage yard where I am getting a replacement fender. I may need to fend off a few rats in the salvage yard when I'm removing that fender.

Here's a pic of all of the bolts, screws and nuts I had to remove to get the passenger side fender off. It took me about an hour with minor distractions. The wrenches are all 10mm. The screw in the bottom left corner is the only one I had to remove from the fender lip.

bump...how do you exactly remove the front half of the skirt?
there are two yellow tabs; i believe the picture above shows one of them.
Do you just push/pry these tabs thru?

Thank you for this. I was looking for one diy a couple of weeks back. Will use this for reference when I have to take mine off.
