U ll need to buy a drill and some drill bits. A punch as well to mark the holes. Alcohol or degreaser so that the tape will stick properly to the body. Maybe a round file. And finaly a lot of patience.

The dealership will most likely try and rape your wallet. I'd look for a body shop around you and see what they'd charge for it.

I would do it yourself if I were you and save a lot of money. It isn't that hard. The hardest part is to install the side sills. The front air dam allready has the marked holes which u need to drill into. You just need to remove your front bumper drill the holes and bolt on the air dam and replace the bumper which is also easy to remove.
The side sills will require more patience. But it isn't hard either. You just need to be as precise as possible. You need to mark the holes yourself. I didnt use a punch but you really should to drill the holes exactly where u need them. It was my first time installing body parts on a car and everything went fine.
