1. jimmy Says: can the whole front end [fenders,hood,bumper,etc.] be removed together?

2. ky509 Says: No they have to come apart in pieces. You want to start by taking off all the delicate breakable parts first like the head lights and marker lights. Then the hood next being careful to protect the corners if you sit it upright. Generally taping heavy cardboard to the corners are enough protection. Then remove your front bumper cover. After that take off the finders. You need to get some freezer bags to put all the bolts and fasteners in and identify the bag as as to what the fasteners hold on and their location. Caution, To days cars are held together by both bolts, screws, and numerous different type clips. These clips and bolts are all specialty items and will cost you a bunch if you get careless and break or loose them. Pay special attention to protecting the painted parts as it will cost you an arm and leg if you mess up the paint. Have a lot of heavy cardboard and duct tape handy for protecting them. I hope this helps. PS, You will need a set of metric tools both sockets and wrenches along with screw drivers and plastic clip pullers. Note, every year car is different and the tools required change every year. If phillips head screws were used in 2009 they may use a torx head screws in 2010. So be prepared for some sup rises.

Good luck
