Yes, you have to drill holes to mount the molded mud flaps. I didn't like drilling into my Libby but it turned out ok. I just did the front ones since you don't need to remove the wheels to drill.

Do you have to remove the rear wheels to put the flaps in their?
also, do the front ones seem to extend over the wheel well and towards the center of the car a bit?
thanks

I believe that I took off my wheels this summer when I did mine. I also wanted to look at the brake drums though so that was part of the reason why I did it that way.

Its best to remove the wheels when putting the rears on. On the front, you can turn the wheel to full lock and it gives ya plenty of room to work. Be sure you get them good and tight on the fender or you may have gaps. The dealer is a good place to get this down also. I had a friend get it done there and they actually look better than mine. I tried my best to pull them tight but theres still a small gap.
