2. Did anyone here avoid drilling for either the front of rear guards and not have any problems with them coming loose or not working properly?
3. Has anyone who has taken these off guards off their car noticed any paint scratching and/or paint wear? I'm sure there will be residue from the stick strip...
4. There is a noticeable sharp lip on the inside of (the front I believe) guards (I will post pics later if needed) where it looks like it touches against the car. I can't tell if this is a leading edge of some kind to help guide them on but it looks like the edge stops where the bottom rocker panel starts. Is this normal for these guards? I'm concered about them scratching my paint.
5. Lastly, the rear guards have no flat front piece to them facing the tire like the front ones have and look like they would collect a lot of grit. Has anyone noticed an accummulation of dirt and grim in the "front" of the read splash guards?
Thanks !!!

I installed these on my wifes camaro. I drilled on the front and rear. To me, the drilling helps to secure the guard to give it a tight fitting factory look. You dont want the splash guard to have any slight gaps from the body.
I havnt check for any accumulation of dirt on the rears.
