easy except fot the a few stuibburn bolts here and there. Just be carefull when you dismantle the front end. If you let it drop down it may mess up your cf shaft. It happend to me

I put two 100w light behind my grill before I got the brushbar,

I'd say the stock grill cut out mabye less then 20% of the light, the other 80% was more than enough to see what was infront of me at hwy speeds.
