One of mine are loose, looks like a challenging job.
No doubt ... esp if the instructions start with "Remove front fender and associated parts ..."

How much did this part cost you? Both of mine are in rather sad looking shape.

while it's not super easy, it's not that bad.

I took Audi_eatter's out completely when i put his HID fogs in.

Just take your time & twist the whole thing around once the inside fender screws are loose & the two screws on the belly pan are loose, just man handle the thing, it comes out ~ 5 minutes

That was a cut and paste from this site, Calvin.

www.europartsamerica.com

Google didn't provide much. Maybe heavier sway bar(s) and shocks. And possibly the "shark fin" delete.

Never heard of that one. Something new everyday. Thought maybe someone might have it.
