there will be several clips holding the top and several more near the bottom of the trim piece (on the older models there are two trim strips, and they use the same exact fender on newer models, except that the newer body moldings use both sets of trim clips). use a flathead or something similar to pry outwards (starting from the top rear corner works best for me) once you get one clip popped loose, pull by hand so you don't break the trim. you will definitely need clips for re installation though, I'm pretty sure they carry both types of clips in fastlane. looks like you got a pretty sweet deal there man

EDIT: forgot about the fender itself, there are several bolts under the hood on the inner edge, and 3 more on the front edge of the door. if you open the door at just the right angle you can get at them with a ratchet. I'm pretty sure those are the only bolts holding it on.
