looks like they provide a good amount of protection. did you have to drill any new holes? do they feel like they are on there sturdy ?

mine should arrive soon.

I ordered a pair from Husky last week. Looking forward to putting them on. I already have a chip or two behind the rear wheels.

Yes I had to drill two holes in the front, one through the sheet metal in between the upper and lower factory holes. And one through the plastic wheelwell piece. Real easy. And yes they feel very secure. Four screws holding them on, two factory and two additional.

I just got the WeatherTech no drill's, they came to around $109 at my local Truck Guys store. They matched the internet price and I got to take them home the day I paid for them. I compared these flaps to the Husky's and to be honest, they are very similar. My WeatherTechs are a little smaller in width and a little more expensive but the owner of the shop said they fit really really well. I've been holding off on installing them because I wanted to price out OEM fender flares which seem to be expensive. I use my truck to plow and I was thinking that if I put the OEM fender flares on I might be able to hold the fenderwell rust. I'll post pics when I put them on!

The Weathertech no drill flaps are the best. Piece of cake to install. I have tried Husky and Weathertech. They are both overpriced for what they are.

Good to know about the install. With two bits of hardware per corner I hope I think I'm gonna have to drink a lot of beer to screw it up. I too wish they were cheaper but I keep throwing sand and other junk all over the side of my truck. I've been doing my best to keep it clean, my fingers are crossed that the flaps will do the trick. Like mentioned above, you can't go wrong with either option.
