Removing front fender ground effects only - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

Hey gang. Haven't even looked underneath yet, so forgive me if this is a dumb question. I'm getting ready to install a new bumper and plan to remove the front fender ground FX only on my 88 Trans Am GTA (not the sides or rear...just the front fenders). What am I up against? Some screws underneath? Double-sided tape / glue? Here's a pic. Any suggestions on what to expect / how to remove them would be appreciated. (And yes - I did search the forums, but mainly folks wanted info on side skirts and rear...not the front ones).

THANKS EVERYONE!

Well there is nuts on the inside of the fender for the metal attachment piece.
Then a few screws by the tire and last but not least a lot of fasteners on the bottom. These parts are a lot bigger than what you can see from the top.
If you jack the car up I bet you will see what I mean.

There is usually a 10mm bolt that goes in from back to the front bumper cover that draws the cornes in. There is an "alignment knob" next to this bolt also.hth
