Pretty easy, the lower side scuff guards are the only part that can give people some problems. Other then that get a T25 bit and should only take about an hour to swap out.

My first time removing the lower scuff panels (rocker panels) was a learning experience. That is the only tough part. Just be careful yanking because they can break off.

I see you are from Vancouver. What year model? Either way, the Evilution site should fix you up fine. Even if you have limited mechanic knowledge you'll still be fine. It's easy.

Oh yes, I remember that well. Little white clips flying everywhere
