We sell the bolts here http://gofastlab.com/s2ki/customer/product...9&cat=30&page=2
As MaxGeek said, they're a good idea if you plan to track your car a lot or do a lot of high-speed freeway driving for extended periods. These were actually a recall item in Europe but not here in the US since we don't drive the same way I guess they've never driven out west where 200 mile trips at 95 mph on the interstate means you're just keeping up with the flow of traffic.

I would imagine a competent mechanic could do it in 1.5-2 hours.
All one needs to do is pull the oil pan and the bolts are accessible from there. a lift is an almost absolute requirement.

though be careful when doing it...at least two blocks had to be replaced by Honda in UK when they did this work as a recall, they damaged the thread, apparently was in too tight from the factory.
