not bad! did you do it yoruself? Took me just under 4 hours to do with a friend... mind you taking the front facia off was the hardest part!
Yes! all by myself If I had to install these again, I'm sure I can do it much faster!

Try having your car as low as mine and not have access to a low profile jack. The regular jacks just don't fit under my car with the amuse (rep) side skirt, thus I had to remove the side skirt first before I can actually jack up the car to start removing the front bumper. It doesn't help that these side skirts have like 10 bolts and screws that needs to be undone so its very time consuming.
Plus I didn't have the correct rotary tool for this job so making the vents larger to fit the pipes took longer than it should have.
Instead of cutting I had to grind the air vents, which led to friction that caused heat that melted the plastic. I had to remove the plastic residue off the rotary tool every 30 seconds
The stock bumper at stock ride height I'm sure I can take it off in 10 mins
