Default Splash Guard Installation

Do the C7 GM Corvette splash guards install by removing screws already present or do holes have to be drilled?

^^^ Agree. Very easy install. You don’t even have to take the wheels off. You can do all 4 corners in about 10 minutes...

They're actually same as originals just wider. Probably make sense for GM just to install them from the factory.

Unscrew the factory ones, and screw the new ones in place. Very easy.
