Be really gentle about the door trims and the hood is easy there are two 12mm bolts on each side of the hood where it lifts up. and the fender is kind of a pain if you dont remove your bumper but there 10 mm bolts near the fender and door. Then take off all the plastics around the inside then there are a bunch of random bolts on the other end.

it's going to be pretty hard to get the trim off without breaking the clips. just take it off, if you break clips just go buy some more

actually take off all the skrews then i believe you grab the botom of the trim more towards the door latch and just start pulling but with a wiggle, not a soft wiggle but more of a earthquake like wiggle and one after another the clips will pop right out

you could get under there with some vise grips or something and clamp on to the wire that the hood popper runs to and you could just pull that and the hood will pop...what color is the car? im lookin for a white front bumper...also what kinda parts are on this thing? i need some stuff maybe you can pick some stuff up for me

I went around to all the junk yards in my area, and after about two weeks I ended up finding all the clips I needed and didn't have to pay for them. Just go find what you need. You usually can get away with clips.
