Pretty much bolt on, with the exception of the front panel which requires the old one to be drilled off, and the new one welded in it's place.

You will also need to cut a few peices off the original inner wing areas, which will become apparent once you line everything up.

Depending on whether your car is a WRX or STi will influence how hard the new wiring is for the headlights, with the STi being the easier of the two.

I have a complete front end off my Bugeye that was converted into a Hawkeye, painted in 08V blue black.
