-Front nose is easy to install

-I think the car looks totally off balance with nose and no side skirts

Install is very easy!

Hey, I installed my front bumper by myself in about 35 minutes. There are 10 bolts on the bottom, then you take the clear corners out. There are about 4 screws/bolts where the middle of the bumper meets the car up top.

After that its some bolts by the fenderwell and some EASY prying and the bumper lifts out. Lift up and then out.

Instructions should be included. I forget what they say exactly. If you need detailed help email me. I don't know about it looking funny because I didn't the entire kit with wing and mirrors. Good luck!

It all depends on if it s the real MS bumper or the knock offs. Some high quality knock offs fit fine while the cheap ones require a lot of work and that equals money. So, for a person installing themselves if you get the original, it will be easy. If you have no body experience, do not get the cheap knock offs.

the installation for the front bumper is pretty easy, the only thing you really need to do yourself is drill the holes for the fog light brackets if you have or want them. im sre sure how it will look with just the front because i have the whole kit. might look alright tho.
