I have a base model 03 350z without mud guards. I purchased a set from a forum member off of a 05. My question is will it be fairly easy to mount the guards on my car even though I don't have the holes or screws? Can i just drill the holes and buy the screws from the dealer?

I can't believe you couldn't just go to Lowes and buy some screws. I took the mud guards off my '03 and I think they just used self tapping phillips screws. Personally, I prefer the looks without the mud guards.

ok thanks KornerCarver I just didnt want to screw anything up...

I see most ppl saying they like the Z without the guards, for some reason I like them :-)

The factor installed mud guards are attached with regular phillups head screws that are about 3/4 inch long. The screws however are not just screwed into the plastic. There are metal anchor nuts(clips) on the inside of the fender. This is what the screws, screw into. You can probably pic some up at Lowes or an auto part store fairly easy though. Food for thought...

Exactly ... it wouldn't hurt giving your Nissan dealership a call either ... if they are selling it cheap enough, you can just get it from them .... I personally think that putting mud guard enhance the appearance of the Z ... Mine came with only front mud guard but I recently bought the rear pair from a member here .... here are some pics ... oh btw, It's very easy to install them ... it took me less than 20 mins for the rears .... when you line up your mud guard against the bumper, you'll feel a very small indentation on the bumper ... It helped me mark my dot to drill hole ... hope this helps
