How hard is it to install MS side?

Hello I'm ordering the MS side today and I was wondering how hard it is to install? I will have a few friends to help me. Thanks

Well, their pretty easy to install just a little time consuming. I had one of my friends there and it took a total of 2-3 hours. Just follow the instructions given and you shouldn't have any problems but there was one thing I do need to mention... before you drill the holes needed to drill on the side of the car, line up the sideskirt to make sure their in the right spot. Meaning, what happened to me was the templates for drilling the holes were off for the middle and back hole. I lined up the templates and punched (making a barely noticable dent) my holes, then I was about to drill but figured it would be smart to make sure the spots line up with the sideskirts, but they did not! I believe in the instructions it says to line up the back template with the 1st and 2nd hole but it should be the 2nd and 3rd. Also with the middle template, I believe the inst. say to line up with the 5th and 6th hole but it should be the 6th and 7th. Hard to explain but I hope you get my drift. Moral of my story, make sure the holes line up before you actually drill them since you probably don't want any more holes than needed under the sideskirt. Anyway, I really hope that makes sense. If not let me know and I'll try to explain better! If I had the inst. in front of me I could tell you for sure which holes to line up the templates with, but right now I am at work.
