personally to me, the sides are the hardest part to deal with. The sideskirts get stuck and needs some muscle to take it off.

rear and fronts are easily 30 mins for me each.

I was in your position a few months ago, after finding out I would need to cut parts of the bumper I definetly wanted someone who done something like this before..

Eventually, I decided to tackle the job on my own and honestly, its pretty straightforward after following the instructions. The cutting and drilling parts are the easiest, that is if the scribe marks are still present.

What Potmilkz mentioned about the side skirts... I needed to call over a friend to help slide the skirts off because over time the clips get stuck and you would need to use a lot of force to slide it off.

Installation of the aero kit... 4/10.. Removing / reinstalling bumpers and ESPECIALLY the side skirts when you need to position the clips.. 8/10.

Take your time and you will be able to do it!

You should post a thread in the regional section if you haven't already.

you need a drill (preferably cordless)
some various size drill bits
a dremel with a metal cutting blade
some painters tape
10mm socket wrench and screwdriver
a life partner

and some balls to do it.. that is all i got to add

I'm looking to install the lip kit too myself. Icecap, where did you wind up getting your kit installed and how much? The dealer charges way too much in my opinion but if I have to, I might just go there. Although I should just grow a pair and do it myself.
