alot and hard.

Prolly looking around $1500 with parts/labor. Labor is whats gonna kill you, I wouldnt suggest you do it yourself either. Reason being is because them little LED's are very annoying to get too, it is a very tedious job.
Someone over on Acura-tl.com did it to their TL though, and it looks PIMP.

that's just a rough estimate, for a more accurate answer try over at is300.net, they might know a little more than I. I'm just going by how much the Acura-tl.com guy was charging. But I figure a regular bodyshop would charge the same.

I'd go with a bodykit.
