That depends.. Which one do you have?

A) The right tools, skills to use the tools, and patience.
B) a lack of any one of the above and an extra $180 to spend.

My theory is - what will it hurt to try? If you get stuck, undo it and pay someone else to finish.

If you think you can't do it then most likely you cant (murphy's law). Pay someone to do it if you got doubts about it. just my 2 cents.

unless the place you're having them put on at is super duper friendly I wouldn't count on them being very supportive if you have problems down the road, I know from past experience most dealerships/service depts. frown on any kind of custom stuff/mods whatever as it makes more work for them. (engine parts throw off codes, body parts get in the way etc.)
You really are better off having those done with some knowledgable owners, especially people who have put them on before. Your car might be given to some import hating newbie who half asses your parts just to get your car out of the way otherwise. It's your money and your car, if you really want to take a chance at some dumb *** screwing it up instead of taking advantage of free help then by all means go for it
