Bots on fenders
I am about to go to the junk yard to grab a front fender if I can. Before I go I just wanted to check to see if anyone knows if the bolts that hold it on are all one size? Going to a pick a part so I need to bring my own tools, would be cool if all I need is a ratchet and one socket

They're all 6mm bolts.
10mm heads though, since that appears to be what you wanted to know.
A ratchet, 3" extension, and a 10mm socket (deep or shallow) will get the majority of the bolts, a 10mm ratchet wrench (or if you don't have one, a regular wrench, but it's a lot more of a PITA) will make one or two of the bolts a lot easier.
Did you search first? I just posted about this. Yesterday, in fact.

Please, learn how to search before asking a question. No, it doesn't say it outright, but as there are no noted exceptions for bolt sizes...
Also, couldn't you just take a look at your own car to see? Would make it a lot easier to remove a fender in the junkyard if you've already taken yours off once

It's pretty easy.
3 (IIRC) bolts on the hood ledge, 3 nuts on each side that hold the fender to the bumper inside the fenderwell, two bolts inside the front side of the door jamb (a 10mm ratchet wrench makes this much easier), and one that bolts to the radiator support, directly underneath the clearance light.
