Help with replacing front fenders.

I'm replacing my front fenders with fibreglass replacements. Has anyone removed these that can share any advice or tips?

Disconnect side markers. Unbolt top and bottom of front bumper. Unclip the fasteners joining the plastic fender lining and bumper together. Pull front bumper off. You'll hear it un clip from the clips around the headlights and at the fenders.

Unbolt fenders. Bolts are in the engine bay, the bottom of the car next to the pinch welds and I believe one or two at the door. The fenders should just come off at that point. Unless the headlight keeps them from coming out. If they do, there's like 4 or 5 bolts surrounding the headlight. Take those off and you're good

Look for the bumper removal DIY video on youtube. That'll get you through the first half of the process.
