not hard as i have taken many bumpers off and put on lip kits before. Just find the correct bolts and clips and pull them out and there comes your front bumper off. Lip kits usually screw somewhere and are held by two way tape. As long as you have good knowledge in cars and are hands on you should beable to figure it out.

rear lip would be the most difficult of the two, but still not that hard, just get a dremel with a small cutting wheel to get the slits in the bumper to slide in the lip

there is a video how to for this, you need to drill holes, but they are evidently marked on the inside of the bumper

edit: they are marked on the SS bumper, i see you have a base...nevermind

This is the correct way...i believe if you search for there is a How To. It takes time but all you need is basically a dremel and about a day. Good luck!
