Question MS kit self install?

ok i bought a MS kit, but i was wondering if i should do the installation myslef or should i take it in to get it installed? I'm gonna do the front myself because im gonna put in my CAI at the same time, but i was wondering if the sideskirts and wing were something that you can DIY? I seem to recall maybe drilling at somepoint, and if thats the case then I would like to bring that part in get it done with some touch up stuff. thank you for your time

sideskirts require drilling holes.

rear spoiler will require drilling if you don't currently have the stock spoiler. If you do, then it's plug and play.

^what he said.

for the side skirts, i believe there are a couple holes drilled into the side of the car (painful) and holes drilled in the wheel wells.

Actually the side skirts require 8 holes drilled for each, 4 on the side of the car and 4 underneath for brackets. I just got finished putting on the front, sides and rear this weekend.

It really wasn't that bad plus I did it by myself with no help. The instructions are really good. The front and rear didn't require me to jack it up or anything, but you have to for the sides since you will be drilling underneath, so having a good jack and a couple jack stands go a long way.
