I think the most time consuming thing is taking out the rear deck, side panels, and rear seats. If you're taking it somewhere, it's definately worth it to take those out ahead of time.

It takes abour 2 to 3 hours to do a complete install if you hve the right tools.

But for one's using basic hand tools it may take a little longer but shouldn't be more then 4 to 5 hours.
