Any body shop can point out the simple tools to remove the chrome trim. Basically, a flat blade.

As for the fenders, there are no major tricks, once you know where the fasteners are.

- A bunch of 10mm bolts across the top at the seam with the hood. There is also a philips screw hiding in the rubber bumper.
- A philips screw hiding behind the front bumper towards the center of the nose (remove the bumper).
- 2 philips screws at the bottom rear near the door. They are hiding behind the chrome strip. If you don't see them, somebody burried them with bondo most likely.
- A sneaky 10mm bolt halfway up that seam along the door that you must reach from behind the fender (remove the metal plate that covers the cavity).
- A 10mm bolt at the top of the fender inside the door space.
- The electric radio antenna, if so equipped.

The seam with all the bolts is glued down pretty well. Grab the bottom of the fender by the door and rock it a bit back and forth. Then just lift up from the front. Before doing so, be sure to disconnect t he headlight and horn wiring harness.
