Get the service manual if you want all the pics. It's not that hard to figure out. Took me 30 minutes to get the front fascia off.

Thank you, the only thing I learned was to get the manual and that it took you 30 minutes.

Hey, dougfresh gave you good advice, I suggest taking it.
Everyone know's that they charge an arm and a leg to work on these cars.
The 3 set manuals, would pay for themselves many times over.
Good luck.

I did it in 30 minutes without a manual-it's not rocket science dude. A few pushpin type attachments at the hood, a few body bolts at the fenders and a few at the bottom.

If you need pics, pop for the manuals or learn to use the search function above.
Here's part of the puzzle for you, you get to try ADVANCED search for the rear!!
