The sides are fairly easy to do as long as you have a welder or know someone who can. There is a reinforcement the runs the length under the doors for the rocker gfx to attach too,, there is a single hold behind the dorr that has to be drilled and 2 in the fender to attach the rocker fx there. The door piece attaches with 3 holes,,2 on the outside edges of the door and one inside that requiers the door panel inside comming off to get to. The back piece attaches with 3 holes needing to be drilled from the wheel well to the back bumper and is accessable to tighten from the spare tire well and the 'storage' compartment. The front fx pieces attach similar to the rear with 3 holes as well. You will have to get new air dam pieces underneath to direct air into the radiator to keep from overheating as the t/a nose is lower than the firebird nose. It is somewhat time consuming to do but not all that difficult. hope that gives you a descent idea of what involved.
