I had them installed on my 2012. They made the car look like it was lowered.
Only bad thing I found with mine was that after being on the car for about 4 months the tape started giving way and I had to retape them. They didnt come off but they dropped down a bit from the unsecured tape. Easy fix...

Make sure you use the 3M activator. It does not come in the kit but you can get it at an automotive paint supply.

So wait, you're telling me that drilling is not necessary? If so, I'm gonna go throw these on today
You don't have to drill but it would be more secure and as someone else mentioned not or start to come out as easily especially at the front at back right at the tires. I think it would be fine if you never drilled but the very front and back (two of the holes you are supposed to drill) could be more secure so I'm def gonna drill there and slap on a couple more of the push tabs once my car is in the air on a lift. If you can't drill though, they still go on pretty good and sturdy b/c you have 8 push tabs holding it on each side.

I put mine on yesterday. I'm going to drill one on the front and one on the back. That will hold just fine. Also gives me a reason to buy an angle drill.

I don't know if I'd trust that up north. If I did, I would probably wait until summer. I didn't use the adhesion promoter. I wiped it dry after a wash and then alcohol. They're very sticky but I would consider the front and rear extra hole. You shouldn't be able to notice them in the future if you decide to remove them. I also bent the rear mud flaps (if you'd call them that) out of the way otherwise they put a fair amount of pressure on the splitters. I'll either cut them to fit, or remove them entirely.

The good thing is that this car is not driven during winter, so it should help.
In my case I already modified the spliter to avoid the pressure on that little flap. Instead of removing or cutting the flap I have cut a notch in the spliter instead.

Weird. I didn't have to trim anything and its perfectly flush. Keep in mind I have a 2012 and my rockers aren't painted. Basically the same look as the splitters. I like it on my black car. Not as much paint to wash either lol

As long as you use the adhesion promoter you should be fine then. I still haven't cut mine yet, but good thinking on the cutting the splitter instead I think. Must just be a 2013 thing.

They also don't make the rear ones for 2010-2012 either. You can order those specifically for a 13 I can't

That little flap is only installed on the 2013, so that's why you didn't had this issue...
The reason why I'm cutting the splitter rather than the Flap, is in case I decide to take them off later and I also assume that the splitters are less costly than this OEM flaps from the dealer !

Are you talking about the little long sideways rectangle flap in front of the rear wheels..If so the 2012s have them, mines got them anyway.

Here are some pics. Tried to get a good angle so you can see the splitters. They do make a difference in appearance - especially in person. My car looks lower now even thought it's already lowered.
