I am pretty sure you use the screws and holes already in the fender wells. I won't swear to it!!! So don't shoot me if I am wrong!!!

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).

Sorry, didn't read completely. The holes are there. They are prepunched. You might have to screw hard (heh).

Hope this helps.

NO problem! If I can install them, anyone can! Very easy. No holes to drill.

yah i install the rear myself..pretty easy to install..took me about 30 mins to complete the installation....3 screws on each side...i use a small screw driver and use a adjustable wretch to tight the screw by using it to turn the small screw driver..u will know what i mean when u come to do it

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.
