it took about 3 hrs each door

tools:
ratchet
10mm socket
12mm socket
13mm socket
7mm allen wrench
soldering gun
electrical tape
dremel (to cut the fender)

solder the longer wires to the other wires, then tape them or use shrink wrap, but keep in mind that is a lot of them

before you install the fenders on the car you have to cut the inside of the fender, if you dont when you try to open the door you might damage the fenders and put a big dent on it.

now you just have to install the fenders back on the car...

How hard/long is the installation, I might be interested. Saves a lot of money compared to the kits that are more than $1,000. Great work!
