Anyone DIY install scrape armor?
Im considering installing my scrape armor to avoid some technician scratching the hell out of my bumper and headlights, and getting oil or grease all over my interior. You know how it is with the dealer techs.
I have gone over the Horsepower obsessed videos and read the PDF. Seems easy. My only concern is if it can be done with one person to lift off.
Anything I missing? For those that have done it, any tips or advice?

I helped a body shop friend do mine. It is much better as a two person job. Getting the fascia clips off and back on without breaking them is where my friend's trade skill came in very handy.

I had a friend help me do mine and a neighbour friend help out lifting the bumper off the car and reinstalling it. We took our time and put in about 5 hours total from removing the first screw to installing the last. It's easier with the front wheels off despite what the You Tube videos show. Lots of blind 7mm screws so have your magnet ready on the install. Definitely worth the effort.
