    It's pretty straight forward if you look at it. You'll have to pull the sideskirt back to get at one of the bolts.

    Can you tell me how many bolts it is total and where to start I have never attempted to take a fender off. Do I have to take off any other parts to remove the fender? Does the front bumper have to be taken off. I really appreciate your help b/c I can't find anything online with instructions

    When you say one of the side skirts do you mean the one behind the front wheel and in front of the door at the bottom? Thx

    i do believe you have to take off the side of the bumper on teh driver side, not whole bumper, just that side to do it, my uncle a mechanic and thats what he did when he replaced my fender, i need to know how to remove aswell, and if you need any special toosl to do it

    I did mine on my 98 gtp. Remove all the bolts on the top where the hood meets the fender. Remove the one behind the side skirt. Then just start removing bolts that are attached to the fender. That was my method. No special tools required, just a 10mm socket if I remember right. There is one kinda odd bolt that holds the fender to the bumper, it slides in almost. You can't hurt anything so just give it a try.

    Thanks Jared so you didn't have to take off the bumper right? If not it sounds pretty easy

    It's been about a year since I've done it. No you do not have to take the bumper off. Basically you need to be able to move the side skirt enough to get to the bolt behind it if I remember right. Maybe take your splash guards off on the wheel well, that could make it easier. If you're still stuck post some pictures of where you are getting hung up at.
