You will also want to keep track of any and all body spacers too if there are any??? I dunno alot about this but maybe a body guy can chime in? I just know that sometimes you may need spacers to get it to hang right.

Piss, I wish I would've taken more photos when I put my fiberglass ones on.

It's quite a paint to get the fender off, I think.
Get the wheel well plastic out of your way somehow, it involved a lot of prying and pissing around for me, but then you can reach a bolt on the side where the door is about halfway up behind some insuation stuff. You don't have to take it out, only loosen it, then go on the inside and look near the top where the door opens, there's a bolt there too, again, just loosen it. Next go under the car and loosen the two bolts that the rocker panel has holes in for, these hold the bottom of the fender on. Then a couple of the screws out of the rocker panels so you can pull them down (might have to break a clip to do this, some pop out some break), this allows the fender to slide out easier.
Take off the headlight and you can get to the 3 bolts holding the bumper and fender together, you might have to go in from the wheel well, though, depending on how small your arm is to reach it and such. I found these to be a major pain. Finally take off the I think... 5 bolts under the edge of the hood, including the two holding the hood hinge to the car.

If I remember right that's it.
Here's an approximate pic of where the bolts are located.


The little dots along the well are just put there to show there's a few littler screws that hold the black plastic well on.
