I took me and my dad about 8 5 hr days to do the swap on mine. THat does not include the time spent removing all of the equipment needed from the clip or changine all of the gaskets, timming and seals and what ever you might find along the way. I will say that I dont regret the money and time spent. I will over the winter pull it all out and swap it to the slick top I just purchased. This should be alot quicker this time. I would suggest getting all of your ducks in a row and just start stock piling all the parts and upgrades you want. And enjoy what you have for now. I waited almost 2 years after purchasing my jdm front clip. And It was worth it everytime I feel the boost kick in.
