A little hard to pin down the actual time since it was on & off over the weekend but I'd say less than 8 hours for all of it would be a good guess. The videos are very helpful. Between that and the other postings from people who have installed (there's a few great DIY threads on halo installations here) he was able to figure it out pretty easily. One of the biggest pains was taking off the front end, there are a few more bolts than anyone noted but he got it done ;)

I'm assuming he had never done this before, and it came out looking good!

Under 8 hours isn't a bad time at all. I've done the install 3 times now and I'm continually around 6 hours.

The hardest part is getting those W screw at the very top of the bumper. Every time it takes me like a half hour.

How many bolts and screws are there in each side after taking the wheel well liner

Additional Front End Screws
 
To all,

In addition to the 3 they show inside the fender well there is also a 10mm and 8 mm at each side marker. The easiest way to get to all of them for me was to remove the fender well splash guard (3 screws in front and 2 in back and 5 or 6 plastic inserts) Also the cable connector for the fogs is short, so you will need someone to help you disconnect it or have something there to support the frontend. :thumbsup:

Total time today was 4hrs with sealant drying time, if you spend a few mins and pull the whole wheel well the bolts are easy

WHen I said it was around 8 hours - that included the afterburners, LED bowtie as well. He didn't do too badly for a first timer :)
