Well you could have done just as well at your dealer but...ebay is ebay.

,No lease company will bitch about mud guards on their vehicle.It's a easy install.

I didn't drill any holes, but I'll bet the dealer did when they installed the GM flaps.

You need to drill a few holes,no biggie. It should have came with a template .Easy install
A angle drill comes in handy,or you could remove the wheels.

As I see it there are many problems/ questions...

You can't see the holes
You have to drill the holes
you have a hand/eye problem with the keyboard

and

in reference to WOMEN WILL DO ANYTHING, are these women under or over 25 years old...

I mounted the Husky mudflaps, I think they sell for around $75. I would highly recommend using an angle drill or angle drill attachment. I bought the Orbiter drill attachment:

You can find it at most Sears or Home Depot stores for around $30. It sure beats taking the wheels off.

If you are installing on the front, you can turn the wheels all the way and make it with a regular drill. If on the back, either take off the wheels or use an angle drill as described above. Before my H2 SUT, I had put them on my H3 and install time was about 10 minutes total. To take them off when I went off-road was about 1 minute per side.

GOOD !

Age is acceptable. Watch the weight though. If they get too skinny the boney parts of their body hurt when you mount...

I bought the Husky mats and they installed in 5 minutes with 3 Screws into the Wheel Well. Easy install, angle drill a plus :-) The Husky mats looked a bit better of a fit than the OEMS.
