The nuts are self tapping. Put it on the post, apply a little bit of pressure and turn right. just don't over tighten.
do that 11 times and you are done.
Truthfully, taking them off is harder than putting them on. So the hard part is done.

if you neeed some help, you can bring it over my house and we can do it there. I did the whole aero kit on my car in my driveway. Honestly it is pretty darn easy. The hardest part is the sideskirts, and since you arent doing those it will be a piece of cake.
I would say like 2 hours tops.
lemme know, free is better than paying LOL
