The above picture it seems like you can remove it without the front bumper being taken off..

Hmm something fun to do on those long summer days.. I'm going to need to do something with the passenger door as well.

 

thats amazing, and wiht only a hammer.

 

ok to clarify, it was hammer with a nice big smooth surface. and i was using some large sockets as dollys since i didn't have any of the proper tools


also I just kind of got lucky that it looked ok afterwards. There's still some ripples in it, they just didnt' show up that very much in the picture. And the scratches were taken care of with rubbing compound.

CTDriver, yeah its just held on by 10-12 bolts something like that. You don't have to take the front bumper all the way off, just unhook the front corner and pull it back to get at the bolts back there. You have to remove the inner fender plastic, and also the baffle that goes between the fender and the kick panels. A couple of the the bolts are trickey to get at, but its not that bad at all as far as body panels go.

 

Ah ok thats not so bad I hope this car does not dent as easy as Subaru.. just breathing on it puts dents in it :-/
