It doesn't help that these side skirts have like 10 bolts and screws that needs to be undone so its very time consuming.
Plus I didn't have the correct rotary tool for this job so making the vents larger to fit the pipes took longer than it should have.
Instead of cutting I had to grind the air vents, which led to friction that caused heat that melted the plastic. I had to remove the plastic residue off the rotary tool every 30 seconds 
The stock bumper at stock ride height I'm sure I can take it off in 10 mins  |
Sounds like you need to invest in a low profile jack
Do you really have to lift the car to do the install? I know you can remove the OEM front bumper without lifting the car.

and then the couplings that came with the g3's were a bit tight and difficult so i decided to use the OEM ones with no problem 
4 hours is probably a bit generous. more like 3... started after 9 and was done by 12 when i did it lol |
You have OEM front bumper I thought ... so no excuses lol
Yeah I'm always wasting time somehow or another. 30 min jobs turn into an hour easy
