How hard is it to change a fender and front cover

I have a new painted fender, ss hood and ds fender to fix my 99 Z. I have looked it over and see a few bolts and a couple rivets. Anyone here done this job before? Is there anything to look out for?

Thanks

Cool.. Do I need a rivet tool? I looks like there are a couple on the fender. If so what size are they?

No need to remove rivets. I saw them too but they don't hold the fender to anything. I don't even know what they are there for. Youll need to remove the wheel wells to get to some of the bolts. Took me longer than these other guys are saying, but it was my first time. `

the rivets just hold one of the brackets to the fender, your new fender should already have that bracket attached.
