it's a piece of cake....9 bolts and 2 plastic clip. You don't even have to jack up the car unless you are bigger than 5'10".

Install takes 20-30 min.

here's a link https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=253544

where in norcal are you?

I was a little apprehensive at first, but it's easy. My car is lowered and I didn't even need to raise it or put it on ramps. I used the cardboard that came with my gfx kit to lie on the ground and felt around/rested my head on the cardboard to find the bolts.

After everything was disconnected and cleaned, i pulled carefully (used my thumb to press the bumper forward and pull with my fingers to minimize how much the bumper moved) and it all clicked off.

I slid the gfx front through the slots starting in the middle and worked outward. make sure everything clicks into place (really make sure, it's common to get it kind of in there), pull the protective tape off the adhesive and stick it on there. finally i put all the bolts back into place. the only difficult bolt was the center bolt as the gfx front kind of covers it, i was able to tighten this mostly by my hand and then tightened it w/ a tool when there was enough room.
