Default Fender Flares?

I just received my oem fender flares that I bought off of eBay. I didn't realize I had to drill into my fenders to mount them. I thought about double-sided tape but not sure. Any suggestions?

I have a OEM set as well and like another member did on here I was going to use 3M tape. Haven't had to time to get them painted and installed. He suggested using double tape, mounting them with the tape first and then drill the lip holes.

My bushwhackers are only held on by about 4 or5 screws and it is amazing how well they are stuck on.

I installed them today. I drilled the holes under the lip and used plastic rivet style fasteners along with the couple brace bolts on the rear fenders and they're on pretty good. Only had to use one little piece of double-sided tape to hold one flare close to fender.

I installed them on my 06 and I only drilled the holes in the fender lip.I didn't use any 2 sided tape.If you hold the flares firmly against the fender while drilling and installing the screws you can get a nice tight fit. I put strips of masking tape on the fenders while trial fitting and drilling so I didn't scratch the fenders.
