Can you elaborate a bit on installing w/o drilling? Thanks.

And you can install them without removing the wheels rather easily (this includes drilling for the rear mud flap/guard).

I've got a few posts in the DIY section. Perhaps I should take better pictures though.

In short, there are a few of the plastic push-screw things that can be removed (I think 6 total, 2 behind the rear wheel, 2 under the rear bumper, and 2 under the vehicle, behind the wheel well).

This lets you remove the plastic piece that you actually drill into. Just measure, drill, and re-install. Took me about 5-10 minutes per side to install the rear mud guard, and about 2-3 minutes for the fronts (dont have to remove anything.)

The next day it stops raining here, I'll get some better pictures, I'll just remove the section step by step and get plenty of photos.

To add to what SpectreRT said - if you don't want to drill, you just leave out one plug for each flap (which still leaves them attached with 3 or 4 plugs, I forget). For the front flaps, this is plenty - I didn't drill those. For the back flaps, you might want to add some 3M tape or what not if you don't drill the extra hole.
