hey guys i just picked up a new used fender that was in good condition and already had same color paint. But now i just noticed the side molding holes are not there so what is the best way to go about this to get the little 2 hole side molding piece on. I am just thinking measure old fender and just drill a hole about the size of the clip and hope it comes out lined up.

Yeah drill a hole and then make the corners square with a tiny file. Or replace all your side mouldings with the thin JDM ones that go on with 3m tape (no clips).
