Screwdrivers, 12mm and 10mm sockets, and a few extensions for the sockets. Rubbing alcohol, or something like it to clean the surface where the tape will stick. Drill, rivets, rivet gun to attache things, without screws.
To remove the front bumper, undo the 2 screws in the wheel well, going inot the bumper bracket. Take off bumper lights. Undo 4 12mm bolts. Wallah, front bumper is off....
Need more?

I highly suggest you dont install your own body kit.
90% of kits out there do not come with pre drilled holes. meaning you have to drill and find all the proper mounting places.
Most kits do not directly bolt on, they require shaving, and cutting to fit right..
just my 2cents.

see i feel just the opposite. I think that you should do it yourself. Its esy to drill holes, and cut stuff. Just place the bumper on the car and drill holes where the stock bumper used to be,,,, and if shit is in the way cut it off (of course you dont want to cut stuff that will make your cr look like shit) I have installed a 2 kits on my car and a couple on my firneds cars. They do take some time to get to fit right but its easy if you think logical about it.
