I got the cheap ones from ebay and they are no drill. Still work fine after 106k miles.

I got the rears done after discovering that the instructions were unclear on a significant detail, now I'm trying to do the fronts. At first glance at the instructions (thanks to Conrad 2016.5) and the fender it looked to be much easier than the rears. However, the instructions say to cut out a square (as was necessary for the rears). There is supposed to be a hole in the piece behind the place cut out over which one slides a clip nut (just as one did for the rears). Feeling behind it, it does not seem that there is a hole but, rather a square piece cut out so that there will be no place to slip on the clip nut. I don't want to make the cut and discover that this is the case.

Can anyone help me? Specifically with a 2016.5 because there do seem to be a few minor differences from the 2016 from what the rear instructions show.

Hard to tell since I haven't been able to install them, hence the post above.

Figured it out: Do NOT cut out the section shown as the piece behind it has a cut out section that fits around the nut side of the clip nut that you slide over the front piece that the instructions show you should cut.

If I had a do over I would not buy these flaps as they aren't very large and don't look like they'd do much. Others with experience can correct me. I'd only recommend them for the aesthetics if you feel that the rear mud flaps need to be balanced by something in front.
