Question seibon cf fenders diy

Hey everyone,
I recently bought a set of seibon cf fenders for my pearl white 370z. Has anyone tried installing fenders by themselves ? Is this something that should be done by a body shop or is it possible to get it done. From what I know its suppose to be oem fitment .
If a body shop does it what kind of prices can I expect ?
Thanks for any info

Kellyfields explains how in this thread:
any diy or instruction for Fender install?

IMO, it's pretty straightforward if you've worked on the car at all. Even if not, all it really takes is a ratchet.

Thanks I just wanted to make sure the side skirts had to be removed, I read a bunch of post where people snapped the clips but said it's not like there gonna use the OEM skirts which for now I plan on doing so. Ill post pictures of my progress it might help others with the same project.

If your re-using the factory skirts I would go ahead and put in an order for extra clips from your local Nissan dealer. The first set of skirts I took off a lot of clips were broken but they were not re-used. The most recent set I removed I did not break any clips at all I was very happy because the new skirts were pre-drilled to use all the factory clips.
