Hi, I had a lil fender bender, I'm still looking for a new or like new driver side 99-03 grand am gt BLACK fender (already painted).

I have the front bumper and I dont have a service manual, I just cant seem to find nor afford one, I thought that hopefully you guys could give me step by step details on removing the old bumper and fender and installing the new ones, I'm going to do this in the summer so you guys can take your time on giving me clear instructions. I remember I asked this before but it was soooo long ago that the post is gone, I remember that I was supposed to buy new clips or something for the wheel wells or something, and that I can get a blow up picture of the front bumper with nuts and bolts from the dealer, but it would be cool if you guys could give me that info, the dealer has enough trouble with me already. heh

By clips you probably mean retainers for the wheel well. I had an accident where someone hit my front driver's side fender. My wheel was turned so his car actually rode up my wheel and got stuck in that fender. Glad it was his fault, total repair cost $1975.00. What sucked the most out of it was I got my car back and the camber was still so bad that the edges(outer left,inner right) of my tires wore down to bald in like 300 miles. The collision center claimed it was aligned correctly(uh-huh:rolleyes: ) so I ended up having to buy 2 new tires($250) myself. I'd get an anlignment done if you notice incorrect wear on tires. Good luck, accident's suck.
