another option is sell the flares, buy some oem style flares which do not require drilling into the side of the fenders. you drill 4 or 5 holes in the inner lip and it uses adhesive to stick on the fender itself. think there about a $100 for all 4 on ebay.

Since you already have the oem flares, you can pop the clips out and put double sided tape in their place. That's what I would do, especially if they are already painted in your color.

If you drill from underneath, you don't need a template or to drill into the side of the truck. Just install the ends with new plastic push pins (available at any hardware store) . The flares will hang in place. Then simply push the flare firmly against the truck and drill the holes from underneath. Install with self drilling stainless steel screws. You're done. No template or tape necessary.
