How the heck are you supposed to seperate the front corner of the fender from where it's riveted to the bumper? I totally F'd mine up trying to get it apart

There should be a 10mm bolt in there that you remove from inside the fender well.

No, on the part under the turn signal, it's actually riveted to the bumper with smooth-topped rivets that I can't punch the centers out of.

They're obnoxious clips that hold the tabs of the plastic bumper tight to the fender. I did them one by one working both sides with a small screwdriver, IIRC from 10 years ago. I got the liner out, wheel off, and worked from the wheel well forward.

Obnoxious is an understatement. I don't think there's any way I'm getting those bastards off without some sort of "obnoxious body clip from hell" removal tool
