The Splash Guards will take an hour to install for the 4 of them. That is $80 there. They are tricky. They will not look OEM, if not installed correctly.

If you've never done the install, and if you need to hunt for tools, and if you're very very cautious, and you sip an adult beverage between each one....I suppose I could see it taking an hour. Personally I'd ballpark it at 20 minutes. For a professional tech who's done it before...with the advantage of a lift...fuhgettabout it.

When I was considering these I downloaded the install instructions to confirm I could do it without risk of personal injury (I'm a danger to myself with sharp instruments). They're darn near identical to the ones on my old Camry...in fact, they're darn near identical to every set of these I've installed over the years. You're certainly right in that you want to be careful, but there definitely isn't an hour of shop labor associated with the task.

What pissed me about it was the double sided tape included, it is supposed to hug the molding, but after you screw it on....it leaves a gap. hence there's a certain amount of familiarity involved to get it done the right way. Or else, I am a lousy installer, or maybe I am just too picky.
