On the MKII MR2 .... no major tricks.
You will need to go through were the headlight opens up to get to the screws behind the moulding.

it was a bitch to take out.....i could barely squeeze my hand in between the lights to access that bolt.....i also think that it may be easier to get at if u jack off the front wheels and go behind the wheel liner......

I actually removed mine without taking the wheels off at all... i turned the wheels all the way to the right to get at the left molding, and same thing for the other side. no tricks, just took off the splash guard on the bottom and part of the inner fender...and did it from there. real easy.
