tools used:
1/4" ratchet, 8mm socket, phillips head bit, t-25 bit, rigid 12v drill with 1/8" drill bit, center punch, painters tape, and time (40 mins per side)
be sure to clean the areas the tape will mount to very well. i used a mix of ~15 oz isopropyl alcohol to a gallon of water.
on the 2013 model you need to drill out the center of one of the push pin clips that hold the trim part in place on the front (and the rear) along with drilling two 3mm (1/8" drill bit) holes for the two lower mounting holes for the fronts step7-8. this can be done with the wheels on the car but will require a helper holding the steering wheel (with the engine runing) left and or right to drill the inner most mounting holes.
you may want to appy some painters tape to the wheel rim fir added protection when fastening the two inside screws as the steering wheel is being held, you dont want to touch the rim with anything metal, period.
find a center punch for fasterner "C". it will take some force to push it home.
be sure to line up the little indention on the front mud flaps before drilling any holes. (the picture in step 6 of the posted PDF front mud flap install does not show the indetation) do not pull the red tape off of the 3M mounting tape until you are assured of the proper alignment for the hole you are about to drill.
the right rear mud flap is a piece of cake to install. all holes matched up perfectly. the left mud flap rear requires a single hole to be drilled in the wheel well for steps 5-6. not too much room but it can be done with a small drill.
