Default Mudguards are 2009 Rx 350

Hi, bought mudguards for my RX350, but it seems to install them is quite a bit of a pain, as I need to drill one hole in the front wheel wells and 4 on each side on the rear wheelwells to install them. As I am not a great handy person and do not feel like drilling holes into my car, I am now contemplating if I should install them or not? Can someone send me pictures or post pictures into this thread with your Rx that has mudguards? Want to see how they would look with them, and then decide, got quoted 125 for the install from a lexus dealer

Santa29, I installed them on my 330. Unfortunately I don't have a close up picture. What I can tell you is the curved part of the mud guards aligns nicely with the bottom black part of the bumper. It makes a difference, especially in the winter.

Now some people have not even bothered drilling holes and went straight to using the screws to create the holes. I wasn't that brave, I marked the spots to drill. Overall it took no more than 20 minutes start to finish and came out perfectly.

It's 10.30 pm here so I rushed outside and shot a few pictures for you before it got to dark.
This is how ours looks like.

Thank you so much for the responses, it looks really clean actually, not really adding anything cumbersome and stuff, I'll see what I feel like, this drilling business is really not me, I tend to always mess stuff up the first time I do it, and this drilling thing seems like not my cup of tea, cheapest currently is a local dealer charging 125/hr, saying that it is an hour job to do this, I am thinking of maybe taking it to a local mechanic and see if they can do it as well, just thought maybe the lexus dealer would be more careful and do it right? but now I definitely want to do it.
