Default Installing a FMIC

Ok guy's so im getting my car back from the shop on Monday due to my crash, and i just got a good job again so i can start saving up now for my APR tune but i wanna do a FMIC install and i wanna do it my self, me and my friend are good mechanics and we work on each other's car's from time to time....What i wanna kno is if i can install the FMIC in one day and from a lvl of 1 to 10 how hard is it for two guy's in a garage and some tools to set up a FMIC? and if there is a DIY out there anywhere, and also if there's gonna be any welding that im sure ill have to do to place the bracket's for the actual FMIC.

Some info would be great guy's thank's.

I think the biggest time waster you're going to run into is fitting the stock bumper cover on after you plumbed the FMIC. Trim a little, test fit, trim a little more, test fit, etc...
