The diffusers are meant to bolt directly to the license plate frames.. if you look you can see how the bolt holes match up. Alternatively the diffusers can be custom mounted but that can require some trimming to get them to fit in various places like the grille. The radar antennas themselves mount behind the grille in the front behind the bumper in the back. Wiring goes to the fuse centers in fornt and in back. The main module mounts under the dash and can run to the cigarette lighter for power.

Its a pretty involved job even for a professional installer, typically requiring 4-8 hours. If you are technically adept then its probably going to be a weekend project.
