Why are you taking the fenders off to replace the hinges?

Oh wait, hinges.

Well open up the bonnet, and you will see um screws along the inside along the front quarter panel tops. Undo those, and you should be able to find your way.

the fenders have a few bolts you have to take out. there is like 3-4 on the top when u open the hood.

when you open the door all the way I think theres like 1 or 2 there also u will need an extension. I did it a while back and don't remember if you have to take the other piece on the fender or not and the sideskirt? someone else jump in on this.

theres two that are hidden, one you have to open the door, and look b/w the fender as if youre about to get in, itll be on top. theres another on that youll have to access by removing the wheel liner, this one is about midway and fairly close to the doors as well. then there will be 4 bolts holding the bumper to the fender, and two bolts holding the fender to the front bumper retainers(youll need to remove the headlights to see these), and 3/4 bolts on top of the fender. and two more on the bottom of the fender closest to the door, these are just phillips screws.
