- Thu Oct 18, 2007 11:29 pm #26867 OK, so you wanna take your fender off, you have got to take the side skirt off to do so. here is how.

You will need:
- 10mm socket, extension if you want.
- philips screw driver, stubby to make things easier on a lowered car!
- your foot

All these plastic screws, take them out.




And the screws in the wheel well.


Then all i do is put a little pressure on the back end of the side skirt, because the clips holding it are designed to slide out one way, you will see how when you get it off!



There now that that is off, the bottom bolt for the fender are exposed! There is also two screws when you open the door, the bottom one is a little stubborn.



I also forgot to take pictures of the front bumper, when i was taking it off, i
think it has to come off in order to get at this bolt:


If so here is a Diagram to give you an idea of where all the bolts are!





Almost there now. There are 3 bolts along the top of the fender.


There your done, just pull that sucker off!



Hope this comes in handy for someone!

I could have used this lol running speaker wire WITHOUT taking your fender off is VERY frustrating

No you dont but you woudl have to pry and bend your side skirt, i would rather just take it off, than risk breaking it.

Doesn't look credible when someone says "You don't have to do this" then changes it too "Ok well you don't have to COMPLETELY do it"

- Fri Oct 26, 2007 3:20 pm #27611 good write up fella.

the first time i took my front wing off it took me soooooo long to realize there was a bolt under the side skirt.
