Took me 15 minutes. And yes, they do provide a little more protection. Side skirts more, or Xpel/others in critical areas.

Just beware of people selling the original liners they take out as "splash guards". For awhile the classifieds were full of these, and I'm sure a lot of people got duped into buying something their cars already had.

Several months after installing realized the rear ones were doing what was desired to protect that area but the front ones were not. Just look at where GM put that heavy plastic covering, from the center of the door back to the front of the rear wheel well. No way a small splash guards can protect that area. My plastic was still getting marked with pebbles etc. Installed side skirts and solved the problem to a point of being able to removed the discolored marked up GM plastic.

True Joey, sellers are doing the same on EBay. Almost bought a set myself until I figured out what was going on.
