Once you've done it the first time, You'll understand, there's nothing to it. I am mechanically inclined, but this really is a pretty straight forward project. The only thing I used above and beyond what I would call basic tools I would say is a Dremel, with a sanding drum (these typically come with a dremel) which made quick work of enlarging the hole in the core support.

DIY Writeup here. <-- I left the strut tower brace in place. I didn't see a reason to remove it. I removed the lower splash panel, the front inner fenders, and the front bumper.
