Easy by all means.
They have great full color instructions and all you need is simpe tools to install.
Drill
3/16 bit
Punch
ruler
Tape
The most important a good tool for the rivets they are way heavy duty. Need to have great grip force to make the final cut.
Make sure you follow the drill bit recommendation as you can dent the hood from under the hood when you drill pushing up on the drill. Use a lot of take to control the depth of the drill bit. I almost hit mine the first hole I did.
Make sure you have paint to cover and touch up the little holes for the bases.
Next time I do one will use a sealer between the bases and the body metal to prevent any water from been keep under the bases and promote rust.
Just make sure you follow the instructions, they know what they are talking about with all of the recommendations they wrote in the booklet.
