Default DIY for fender removal?

A friend of mine had the passenger side front fender damaged on his 08 Si coupe. I am trying to figure out if it is something that I could fix for him. Because of the damage that occurred, the dealership recommended that he replace the entire fender. To do this, I need some sort of instructions on how to remove the fender. Has anyone done this or seen instructions on how to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW....I know that the front bumper has to come off to do this. I know how to do this as I have done it several times on various civics.

all you really do is remove the wheel well lining, then you open the hood and i think the screws for the fenders should be there. and there should be a few underneath. and along the gap between the fender and the door, which require you to have the door open to remove them.

you'll need to remove the front bumper, black triangle by the mirror, and the black plastic in the engine bay that goes over the fender. to remove the plastic in the engine bay you'll need to first take out the top part of the washer resevoir.
