C6 Z06 splash guards

Question for the guys that have installed the C6 Z06 splash guards. What size whole did you have to drill in the fender for those push pins that hold the splash guard on? Just dont want to make it to big. Thanks

I didn't use the pin except on the very bottom. i used the same type 3m tape that they had on it for the Z06. Mine have been on for over a year now.

I didn't use the pins. I drilled a 1/8 inch hole and used a screw top and bottom along with the tape.

In that write up it posts a part number for "clips". Where do the clips go? or does that part # refer to the push pins that were used?

How many have installed these and has anyone done it w/o drilling holes?

Thanks for any additional info.
