they're not too hard to take off. your trim in the rear hatch will have to come out or whatever. and your front bumper cover might take a little longer (don't dent your fender when your working a ratchet in there) It's pretty much self explanatory, no you dont have to take out the head light bezel. and take it to somebody that knows what they're doing, otherwise they might not put a flexibilizer in the paint and it will crack all over again. good luck.
