Default RE: front end question

Most of them are fairly easy to install. The big thing is getting a quality piece of glass that is made so that it will fit. There are a lot of crap pieces out there so beware. Don't buy one unless you can visually inspect it first for thickness and reinforcement areas. Edges should be about twice as thick as flat areas and mounting points as well as pressure points should be reinforced.

Depending on where you live in relation to where the manufacture is is another consideration. I just priced a baja kit from Mark 5 fiberglass in Nevada. The kit cost was $365, shipping would have been between $350 and $400. They normally provide a quality product but with those shipping charges I decided not to place the order.
