All sorts of bolts on the metal frame that runs along the back of the dash. I took one out of the 2000 plymouth that I owned back in Feb of 06. It wasn't too difficult to do, more of a search and destroy measure than anything.

i think with the wires are held in with that cloth tape in the runners. once disconnected you should be able to pull it out.

Yes actually both fenders have about a 3-4 in crack.. Reason not being body work... Earlier this year when I wasn't driving my car, it was sitting in a parking lot and got hit by a plow truck and when it was vandalized they kicked the front bumper so a lot of the front bumper is cracked along with small cracks in the fenders... There not to noticable or I would have taken them off with the rear bumper... The rear was cracked in half from the towing company... They said it was like that and nothin I could do... That's shy it's off..
