the only really tough one is headlights. and that's because you need to crack em open to install LED strips and stuff. All the rest is fairly simple just a matter of learning where things go and what to remove.

I did the Z tube and K&N filter first and it took me prob 45 minutes because i really wasnt sure what I was doing and I was in the same position as you. You will feel better about yourself if you do the installs tho. I hope to get a MD spacer soon enough.
I've seen a DIY vid on adding a spacer here somewhere....
I think the vid is on youtupe.
I'm thinking this would be more than a 5 for you probably a 7 or 8.
I would suggest the z-tube and K&N to start with. This is fairly ez.

Data Replica Spec Grill=1
Splash Guards=1

Are you home in Tennessee yet....?
The amount of difficulty is only greater if you don't have the correct tools or detailed instructions. The MotorDyne MREV2 and spacer should be done at the same time and requires a torq wrench. Without it you're just guessing, I believe MD instructions include the torq specs....difficulty factor 6. The intake Z-Tube/K&N drop in is so easy shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. If you include either Stillens CAI or Pop up Charger you can add another 10 minutes for assembly....difficulty factor 2. Clear sides....a handi-capped monkey could install these in 30 seconds. Splash Guards requires lining them up and adding the supplied screws, get the monkey to hold them for you while you button them up....
Headlights and adding LEDs....new territory for me but I'd SEARCH DIY and get some instructions before considering. You didn't ask about debadging....=) SEARCH haha

If you have never done any work on cars, especially on the motor, i wouldn't even try to attempt the MREV2 install without someone that knows what they're doing watching over you. And as Gary stated, having all the right tools.
