Installing Kenstyle Front...(help needed)

I just received my kenstyle front, it is already painted and I'm wondering how tough it will be to install. Is this something I can do or do I need to go to a body shop. I live in San Jose, CA. and am also wondering if there is anyone in the area that could help. He's just sitting in my garage begging me to put him on lol.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you guys.

my dad has built cars before so I was wondering if someone with that type of knowledge could do it. I doubt I could do anything myself

There's a ton of local help.

If you have questions about the install I would search the tech area to see if anyone there has done it before

^+1.
If you do it yourself make sure you remove the metal brackets from the OEM bumper and put them on the new bumper. I use a really long phillips screwdriver to reach the screws under the headlight. Just have someone to help you hold the bumper up while installing. Also make sure you secure the undercover well or remove it or it will flap down and get ruined. GL with install.
