Didn't see any. I'm getting in a new fender soon to replace my busted up one and was wanting to slap it on myself before I send it to the body shop to save myself a lil' extra cash.

Anyone able to either explain or take some photos and post in here on how to do this? Thanks.

i didn't do a write up when i replaced my driver side one...

but in summary you have to

drop the bumper, remove the headlight, then remove the bolts in the fender well... there are bolts behind the door too... just go slow, you will find it.. took me an hour...

I think you have to take down the side skirt as well.

Too bad I didn't take pictures when I fixed mine. It is pretty simple, 3 in the engine bay,1 behind the door, 2 of them under the headlight and 2 at the side skirts.

You can take off the side skirt, but I was able to do it without taking mine out given it was a little bit harder but I didnt want to take it off.

Yeah I just need to take off the upper part of the fender not lower. So don't think the side skirt needs to come off.

Well, the fender extends down to the sideskirt so you either take off the sideskirt, or you just pull it so you have enough room for to take off the fender.

Also forgot to mention there is a cap that you yank off to expose the bottom of the fender.

Ahh okay! Thanks bro for the info. Hopefully I can get this done asap once I get the fender and get the ride into the paint shop.
