Man, if I was a little closer i'd be there... Sadly, i'm about 2.5 hours away. It's super easy bro, if you can get a hold of a jig saw or a reciprocating saw, that's literally ALL you need.

Did reuse the stock marker lights? If so, how did you mount them to body.

It's easy. Just take your time. I got a couple of 2" orange led circle lights and wired them under my fenders in the wheel well. Best looking and cheapest mod I've done.

Harbor Freight has a hand held sized air reciprocating saw that will do the job for super cheap. I can't remember the exact price but I wanna say about $30? I'm sure you could find it online. All you need is an air compressor.

Even a saw zaw would work. Make your basic cuts with it and do the fine detailing with some files, sand paper...etc.

How far are you from Freeport, PA?
