Its simple, just some nuts to take off and disconnect them from the front air dam. Be prepared to break several of the mounting bolts.

8mm socket IIRC.

Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes per flare.

youch! i'm a firm believer of learn by experience... not by research... I have a buddy who does a lot of forum searching and not a lot of doing...... lets just say.. some of the simplest things really slow him down Cuz he reads about how to do it... and things don't go to plan and then he's lost
