Removing front fenders?

I've seen a lot of people who have painted or wrapped their front fendors (Between the Front wheel and door). Does anyone know where I can get an instructional on how to remove them? I'd like to wrap mine. I was also tempted to just get a second set and just paint them and swap them out depending on how easy it is to remove them.

What have you guys done with yours, any suggestions or opinions for or against??

The plastic fenders just unsnap, or are you talking about the metal piece?

Yeah, I'm talking about the metal part that has the turn signal attached not the plastic wheel well trim. I've seen many people painting or wrapping these... Perhaps I've got the wrong name of it. I think one person called it the 'A' Fender but I really don't know the proper terminology for it.

PS:
Here is a pic of the area I'm referring (The area with the stupid red sticker)

I'll check my service manual and see if it says anything about that. However if you wrap it you shouldn't need to remove it...
