I took four hours to fit a Hyperflow FMIC.....
And two days of sawing, filing and sanding to get the bumper to fit !

It depends how much your time is worth to you, it seems to take most people 4-8 hours on their first try

I didn't fit mine but there was no cutting of my front bumper to fit it as it was a perfect fit

Mine was SO HUUUUHGE I had to chop a fair bit out, and the bottom 1" is still masked by the bottom edge of the bumper.
But they are hard to find so don't want to maul a Prodrive Edition bug-eye bumper into shabby bits

P.S. jigsaw, palm sander, and a good tape measure....
