Flare mounting - limited

[goro]

Search didn't really give me anything here, so figured time for a thread!

I'm getting to the point where having black fenders on my MSM girl is starting to bother me, so it's about time for some paint. Figured I'd get the flares sorted out and ready to mount before the paint, but then I ran into a snag: I have no idea how to mount them. My original mounting hardware is pretty rough, so I'll probably buy new ones from Toyota. Main thing I'm wondering is how hard is it to drill out the holes(only need to do one fender, the other came with the holes pre drilled), or should I just try and have a dealer do it? I'm just worried that if I do it, they'll be all crooked and terrible..

I hate to be that guy but I'll ask anyways: how did you search?

In my SIG there is a link on how to do an advanced search. It should be easy to use Google to search only the 3rd gen section and only the last year for keywords "limited flares"

I know there was a thread just a few days ago that detailed how to remove them.

hmmmm the Google search method isn't working that well today.

I couldn't find this link using Google as a search tool. I found the link for this (here) thread but not for the one I was looking for, now posted below.

Anyways, here it is! (a bit of manual searching since it is only a few days old)

I did do the search(Google, got the search term for it programmed on Chrome) but my issue is actually making the holes, not the mounting itself necessarily. Just not sure if anyone has done it and had insight into drilling the holes right.
