They are not hard to do. A little time consuming though. Follow the directions and you can do it.

hardest part is routing the lines underhood and installing them to the motor. Bolting them to the dash, there is already holes in it where we mounted ours under the radio, and we fed the lines out an existing hole in the firewall i forget where though.
