There are 2 near the door. One you get from the door open at the top, the other's at the bottom you get from inside the fender well. There are the obvious bolts under the hood, then the 5 or 6 nuts holding the bumper to the fender, then one last one behind the bumper right at the point of the front of the fender.

in order to take off the fender, you'll need to take the bumper off. once the bumper is removed, remove the shroud around the wheel. theres bolts along the top that you can clearly see once the hood is opened. then theres 2 bolts under the fender by the door, you cant miss them if your car is on a jack. then theres 2 more bolts in the middle that can only be reached by having the door open. open the door and grab a socket wrench and get an extension. theres one on top that is easy to get to, then theres one under that one that is kind of hard to reach. i think those are all the bolts ...once they are removed the fender should be easy to take off.
