Not really hard. You just have to plan out the wire routing and function. It also helps if you can get the car up in the air to do the work.

I have used this kit twice. I always throw away the ugly belt strap because the top snaps on and the belt really isn't needed. The roughest part of the whole install is drilling the battery mount bolts through the trunk sheet metal. The second is crimping the cable end terminals AFTER you have established the correct length. I crimped and then soldered mine. Make sure the positive cable is routed so that the insulation does not nicked at therefore grounded.
