took me about an hour... but I was at my buddies autobody shop and wasn't really working the whole time.... so I would say 20-30min... just make sure when you line up the bolts feel behind the bumper to make sure you can tighten the bolts down... mine was a little pain but I had all the tools i would ever need so we made it fit...

I'm just wondering where and how you screwed it in. Can you take some close up pics?

here are the best pics i could get with out totally taking everything out
I made sure that when I took out my factory grill i was very careful not to break the tabs that it mounted to. I have some self taping screws made my cuts and screwed it in. let me know if you have any other questions on it.


shot a screw in to one of the tabs

here are all the tabs. I put screws in roughly every other one
