I had to drill mine. I just put some ATB silicon over the ends of the screws. The drilling was really no big deal.

Got a set of OEM from the dealer. Took about 15 minutes to install, front and back. No drilling. I think I have some pictures of them in my gallery. If I don't let me know and I'll post some...

I put mud flaps on all my rigs. The flaps are a savior to the paint on the back of the front and rear fender, mud reduction under the frame work, plus some slight air baffle to hold down dust-up on the back tailgate. Add to this the safety feature that is offered to the vehicles behind you with flying road derbis.
When purchasing anything do not let the final price be the price that you consider. When purchasing something that cost $70.00 or a similar item at $45.00 it is the price difference of $25.00 that is to be considered. i.e. Is the $25.00 worth the appearance, installation, and functional use I may gain from the more expensive accessory. In the case of mud flaps it is $25.00 divided by 4 flaps=$6.25.00 per flap.
