Mud flaps, and holes

I picked up the the front mud flaps, but I do not want to drill the requisite two holes in my car. Is there some kind of auto body adhesive I could use instead?

The two holes are way inside the wheel well so you would never see them. They are also very small. I installed a set about a year or so ago and it was quick, clean, and painless. If you turn the wheel lock to lock you do not even need to take off the wheels. If you want you could try some double-sided tape. But being hit with water, snow, dirt, and lots of road crap, it might not work. Also think about something you might run over on the road (like a semi retread), you could rip the part right off your car if not held on good. Good luck with your project.

I would drill the hole. If I remember right it is into the plastic.
