How hard to install body kit?

I am going to pick up my body kit tomorrow but dont have enough to get it painted and all yet. How hard is it to put the bumpers and skirts on yourself? I know that the kit fits pretty well, so Im hoping it wont be too hard. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Adam

hey man, i did mine in about 3 hours with just me and my brother working on it. its not a bad job if you have a good set of tools and have some experience working with cars. the mazda skirts require some drilling so thats the worst part to get the holes drilled accurately. later

Its an Erebuni kit and I had a hell of a time trying to get the front on because it doesnt seem top fit right without trimming the reinforcements and the sides I didnt even try drilling. DOesnt matter, Im trying to sell the kit now anyway...no money to install it

Dude, don't put the kit on before it's painted. That looks SO ghetto... Like, you can afford a kit, but not the paint.

Just wait until you can get it painted, then installing it yourself shouldn't be hard at all providing you have minimal technical knowledge.
