Default How Hard is it to install Halos?

There's a video up on the AAC website --
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-q0S...TS&Category=58
and I think that look goes really well with the IS, especially painting the chrome. I'm more worried about doing a good reseal job above anything else. really sick mod, but definitely ballsy. Has anyone done this DIY? How hard do you think this is to do?

I just finished mine recently, took me about 6~7 hrs, but i divided to 3 days so doesn't feel like long. I think it's not that hard as long as you have a oven, but you should worry about possibility of condensation if you DIY. And better have a friend to help you putting the bumper back.
