All you have to do is show some sack when it comes to drilling into your bumper and you should be all right with doing the bumper splitter install yourself.

Hehe, with the bumper, you just have to measure twice and drill once. Even if you did mess up, you won't be able to see it since the splitters will cover it. Worse comes to worst, I'm sure someone out there will be willing to trade their perfectly non-STi style bumper for your bumper + the splitters 
You'll be fine.

I just did mine this weekend, 1-10 with 10 being the hardest I rank it a 1. You don't need to cut holes into your bumper just use double sided tape, bolts, washers, and self locking nuts. If you cut holes and ever decided to take it off, it's not going to look good. The install took about 30 minutes. Here is a pic i took the next day
