    Is drilling required to put the stock flaps on? I haven't even drilled the front bumper for the license plate. I've gone about a month without it. But, I'm sure Mr. Policia-man will say something sooner or later.

    Yeah, but they're an acceptable casualty.

    The MOPAR 2015 Splash Guards will require you to drill one hole for each of the 4 guards. All the other connection points use holes that already exist. No big deal really. I found the easiest way to do it was to install the guard and then drill the hole required. The hole in the guard itself made an excellent guide to drill the hole in the correct place. Once the hole was drilled, I sprayed S-100 Corrosion Protectant liberally in the hole and then installed the fastener provided. You can install the front guards by turning the wheels but it is not possible to do so properly with the rears without removing the wheels. There is simply no room to drill the holes with the wheels on. All in all the installation is very easy.

    I was going to post a MOPAR PDF showing how to install them from 2013 but every PDF file I try to upload is too big. I don't think I've ever seen a PDF file as small as 19.5 KB, which is the limit, but I might be mistaken. I don't don't know of anyway to reduce the size either, but than I'm old and stupid, soooo...sorry.

    wow, thanks guys. This is great information. I just hit 1000 miles, so it's still a baby. It's going into the dealership for some upgrades tomorrow.

    Thanks Shaggy, that seems to have worked.
    Hope this might help someone.
    It's probably good up until 2014, after that I don't know.

    You are correct. This PDF does NOT apply to 2015 cars.
