I did em all by myself in 15 minutes. The key is to have a stubby screwdriver (phillips if i remember correctly). Doing the back ones are a pain because of the little room to work with. The front ones were cake.
Make sure to get the directions from the Acura dealer before you leave (they aren't in the box as you would expect).

Very easy. No holes to drill.

Two of the screw holes are marked, but not punched all the way through. You need something sharp and pointy, like an awl, to make a very small hole to start the screw in. If you don't want to take a tire off, have a snubby phillips screw driver, or a bit that can fit in a ratchet.
