I'm kind of between a rock and a hard place in regards to installing rock guards.

The ZL1 addons rock guards use the barbed clip to help fasten the guards to the fenders. That undoubtedly will dig into the paint and cause rust. The rear attaches using the three existing screws so that's no problem. I've seen some suggesting a different barbless clips, but I'm still not sold.

Others like the ACS Rock Guards look like they fit great. The rears require no modifications, but the front require drilling holes in the inner fenders.

Are there any brands out there that require no modifications and NO drilling? I guess having to choose between drilling into the inner fenders or getting paint chips, the minor holes in the inner fenders is a small price to pay, but I would still prefer NO drilling.

Has anyone tried installing the ACS Rock guards with the one existing screw but using double edged tape instead of the screws that require drilling?
