Havent tried on my 06, but cant be much diff than my 04 Mach was, two retaining nuts on each side behind the fender well plastic, 10mm nuts, a couple of plastic push pins, maybe some philps screws, voila.Pop off the fender well plastic first and look with a flashlight, cant be hard.

There are no rivets (unless you mean the plastic push pins on the plastic cover above the grill opening). Or do you mean the inner fender well plastic push pins? Once these are removed it's all 10mm bolts as I recall. Can check again when I get home. Let me know more specifically what you are struggling with, fr bumper removal is actually easy.

yay fairline please help. There is a bracket that has a pin through it with a thread on it and it also has the fender connected to it as well. How do I get them off? Also do you know how to get the side skirts off? I'm trying to break down the price of a big repair I have coming up...

Dude, there should be 10mm nuts on the other side of the rivets you are talking about, pull the fenderwell liner away and look closer.

It is a flat topped stud and is there are threads, I had an accident at the track and maybe they broke off but I cant get those studs out...

Yeah, that link is excellent; I don't recall step 6 but it's been a while. Can't visualize what you are referring to, hard to imagine the hex head is gone off of a 10mm bolt, even from an accident. Can you take any pics? I haven't looked into taking the rocker covers off. Maybe someone here has a .pdf schematic for that as well.
