I removed the four bolts and she didn't budge on either side. A trip to Autozone and a rental slide hammer got'er done. Plan on four hours for the install and minimal frustration (but get a slide hammer!) if you have all the tools and have done most of the steps before (fascia removal, caliper/rotor removal, etc). If you've never done any of it before, double that time estimate and prepare to be frustrated.

And for what it's worth, don't do a little drive around town and then touch the front rotor thinking it's going to be cool because of the new ducting. It'll still burn you. (I may have touched the rotor )
Nice. Yea my hub about fell out after removing the last bolt. But my car is only a year old and garaged, so maybe that helps a little.
