Default Question for mounting quick detach kit 53303-07

Im thinking about purchasing the quick detach kit which is part # 53303-07, I also have to get part # 70113-08 since I have an 05. I was wanting to install this myself and was wondering how hard it is to install? I can purchase both these parts online right now for about $270 and the local shop wants about $500 installed. How hard is it about how long to install? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
