Honesty it's not hard. I did it in 2 hours my first time alone. I did use a hoist but headlights are easy to install. 2/5 if you ask me. Might help to have a friend hold the bumper putting it back on.

I literally got it in 60-75 minutes, with the help of a friend who had it installed in his car already, the bumper is literally the part that takes the longest and the sidemarker removal was annoying. I've been able to repeat that time to get the replacement winjets on when the old ones got damaged too it's surprisingly easy.

Also recommendation, buy extra pop clips because one or two will break, I replaced the screw type ones for the fender liner with pop clips and it's so much better to remove and reinstall in the future, and the top plastic part doesn't strip.
