Yeah, taking off the mudflaps and bumper is a hassle but the swapping of the led board and mounts and crap is a pain. I had to do it twice because it wasn't until I got the car back together I realized that I forgot the seal around the led board...

let me know if u need some help

depending on whether or not u have an aspec body kit, the intructions are a little different than if u have just the stock kit.

harder IMO but worth the time and effort.

it should look really good after i wash it today
