Just take a look at it, from what i remember just looking at it only a few bolts hold it on. There are two or three when you pop the hood, and then there are probably some on the underside where the plastic guards are. Take a look and if you still need help then tell us where you are getting held up at.

There are 4-5 10mm nuts holding the fender to the bumper. You need to remove the corner light by removing the phillips screw which holds it to the headlight. There is a 10mm bolt up top between the door and the fender (tight sqeeze), then there is one at the bottom if I recall and one up under the car too (would be beneath the front mudflap). There are also about 4 bolts on top the fender which are accessable by opening the hood. You also have to remove the two phillips head/bolts that secure the headlight as well. There is also a 10mm bolt below where the fender meets the front bumper, it goes to a stabilization bracket so the bumper/fender don't flop in and out when driving down the road. You should have it off in 5-10 minutes. I suggest a short well socket with narrow extension to get between the door and fender, it's a tight squeeze.
