Thanks for elaborating and the help people...
You don't need to drill the small holes, but I advise you drill the large ones in the wheel wells for the front guards. The 3M molding tape that's on the GM painted parts keeps the splash guards from moving. The holes are redundant.

That said, your parts may not have had molding tape on them because they were custom painted. If that's the case, get some from you local auto parts store. The part number is in my 1st post. It is applied to the surfaces of the splash guards touching the sides of the car (FRONT: behind the sharp edge that touches the fender/rocker panel, REAR: same area as front that touches the painted bumper surface), not inside the wheel wells.

As for the sharp lip, I added layers of molding tape behind the lip, so the splash guard doesn't touch the fender/rocker panel.

This help at all?
