While it is a direct swap...you do have to remove the rear bumper cover to do it...so be at least ready to do that.

I guess installing these tails while installing the A-spec kit would be a good time. How long roughly do you guys think it will take to do the tails? I am trying to find the sticky in the Garage but can't.

Tails you have to swap the LED board. Once you get the bumper off figure 30 minutes tops to take the old tails out, swap the LED board, and bolt it back up.

The A-Spec rear skirt with normal handheld tools should take you 1.5 hours.

Figure ~2 hours for the project.

I have a pictorial walk through if you will... just haven't written anything up per say. You're welcome to use these pictures for reference if they can be of any service.
