It shouldnt take too long. You have to unbolt the hood hinge to get it off, so make sure you mark its position.

Theres the few bolts on top part. Then theres the 4+ bolts to take off the bumper. Those are kinda a bitch to get to but not to bad. Then theres like 2 bolts at the bottom underbody. Most of the camaros I've seen that area is smashed in because they mistaken it for the jacking point of the car. Then also you have to unbolt the body kit from the fender. I suggest putting your car on jack stands and taking off your wheel. that will speed things up big time.

REV's right about them thinking it's a jacking point. I just took the fender off my project car. No big deal, just bent it back in place then took the bolt on. Everything goes much quicker using air tools.

nope no GFX i'll keep all this in mind. say, think it's a good idea to take both fenders off at once? cause they are both messsed up beyond repair.(kick dents, previous owner) but my parts car has one good fender, so should i wait untill i have one for the other side too? Also, need a differnt hood, rear corners of it are bent(don't ask me how this guy did it)

Just replaced a fender this morning. Just make sure you have some deep well sockets to get the 2 bolts at the top of the fender that connect to the front bumper. That's on a Firebird though.
