Default Replacing Front Fenders

Is it simple as taking the bumpers off? Or does it need to be at the shop?

Thanks..

I'd take it to the shop, but I enjoy working on my car. Almost like golf...very calming.

Anyway, hate to go off-topic, anybody with simple pictures? Does the bumper and headlights need to be removed?

the front bumper & headlights does not have to come off. theres 3 bolts on the bottom of the fender. 5 bolts along the top. 2 bolts when you open the door, 2 bolts that connect to the headlight. and 3 screws for the fender liner. its relatively easy but just time consuming. have fun!

Thanks.

Right on the spot.

For anyone else that needs to replace the fender, write down on a note "5 top, 3 bottom, 2 open door, 2 connect headlight, and fender liner"

Easy as taking the front bumper off.

No, I reused it. Just make sure you don't use brute force to pry those things out..
