What specifically are you changing? Gotta see how much the parts are first. How much research have you done??

if you get the parts all the mounting points are the same so its not to hard to do but it is hard to get paint thats matches your car due to fade etc...

I would seriously do more reasearch and see who's all done this. You may get some great insight, or find out that it's something you don't want to do. All I'm saying is find out what you can before you make the decision.
