hi everyone, my turn for a follow-up. i attempted the installation today based on the helpful advice of @az desert driver and others in this thread. it took about two hours including preparation time and the back and forth looking for the right tools and equipment during the job.
i actually streamed the process live on twitch and saved the recording to youtube. it might be worth checking it out to see the process from the perspective of someone who has never done any work on this car before. most of the tutorials available also kind of skip over the actual work, so my video might help to remove uncertainty about what to do if you're still on the fence about doing this yourself.

my internet was acting like garbage during the live stream, so the video was broken into three parts. i've combined them into the playlist linked above. please also note that during the first fifteen or so minutes of the video, there is no sound because of an incorrect setup on my end. you can still see me removing panels and bolts during this time. after that, i enable the sound and you can hear my novice commentary as well as occasional chat with my viewers.
one detail that gave me a little bit of grief was re-installing the front trunk tub. what i didn't realise was that the air filter socket + ducts can actually move around somewhat once the front trunk bolts are removed. you need to juggle the filter socket so that it lines up with the bolt holes. before trying to tighten down the tub, get all of the bolts in loosely so that everything stays aligned.
good luck everybody!
