installing a fender
im install a new right side fender to replace mine that is smashed in and what i want to know is how do you do it? do you have to take the front bumper off? Prehaps a step by step would be helpful, if not cool......and how to you take rust off the inside of a door? grind it down and paint it, etc. thanks again

RE: installing a fender
yes, front bumper has to come off.
open hood
taake 3 screws off the top of teh bumper 8mm
take the teo bolts out for both headlights, and take them out 8mm
unscrew the 3? screws on the bottom of the bumper 8mm
unscrew the 2 torx screws on the wheel well (t15 or t20) and then pull thw two xmas tree plugs out
unplug fogs of you have them and side markers
take the 3 nuts off connecting the bumper to fender 10mm
now take off your bumper and be careful not to scratch it. i would put towels under the front so the ground doesnt scratch it. ifitdoesnt come at first just give it a little love
i havent actuallt taken my fender off, but there are bolts connecting it to the rest of the body. im assuming you have to take the whole wheel well out, so the wheel probably has to come off so jack stands it is.
im not sure the sizes or how many bolts there are, but it cant be that hard
good luck
