Yeah it was trial and error mostly
and yes it took a while the first couple of times I tried. Although now that I know what I'm doing, it really wouldn't take that long, maybe full install in six hours. It's definitely worth the looks the car gets. I will be changing the bumper in the future and lining the headlights with L.E.D.'s as well. I know the grill might be a little much but it's just what I wanted.
