Is any drilling required or does it use existing holes/bolts?

ProsportGauges.com has them as well. I have them on my 8. They even managed to survive a front-end collision on my last 8 a couple months ago. Transfered them over to my new 8, they still work just fine. Great product.

I know. It just makes for more work than just bolting on. Lazy level 9000.
