I have the same car and have been looking at this for some time. There are three screws that hold the fender liner in. One at the top, one low in the front and one high in the back. I cut and bent an aluminum piece that goes under the factory screw head and extends down below the fender lip to take a screw or Dzus fastener. That is as far as I got so I'll be watching your build with interest. Incedently, the fender liner bolts are right where Freebeard shows them in his illustration.
