How is asking people how hard it is going to assist in getting it on.. easy, hard, not hard where does that get you? why not start by saying which kit it is and I can guide you to what needs to be done.. so you can install it perfectly as others have..

I'd never put a kit on ym car, but from what I've read about the kits people have gotten on here, a bunch said if they had just gotten it done professionally it would've 1. taken less time and 2. would've cost less because they messed up the kits trying themselves

the 2nd time around (i had an accident) i got it painted and did the install myself. (not the side skirts though) you want to have 2 friends to help you out on this (treat them to dinner lol) i cant stress that enough.. BTW thanks to nightblade128 for helpin me out... anyways.. i guarantee that you will scratch your car if you do it just by yourself and you arent carefull ( test fitting ect) and when you drill your holes.. start with a small bit.. then keep increasing.! if u dont do the increase method you risk cracking some critical pieces of fiberglas..

additional stuff.. if you have a greddy evo 1 cat back (like me).. you might want to make an exhaust heat shield (easy!) or buy one. cuz it will burn your bumper.. i was pretty P1$$sed off when that happened to me the 1st time.
