I installed rear splash guards on my 500C Lounge today. Very straight forward installation but a couple of notes:
1. Take the rear wheels off - it would be very difficult to drill the needed holes without doing this.
2. Drill pilot holes smaller than the 6.5mm needed to install the body clamps and make sure you go slow and steady to avoid drilling past what is needed.
3. The last hole is under the fender and when you put the guard in place it will look like the body clamp will not go into the pre-drilled hole in the guard. Just give a firm push and it will go into place.
4. Follow the directions, take your time and you should have no problems.
Hope this helps if you decide to install the guards yourself. One more thing, I called the dealer to make sure of my wheel bolt torque (75 lbs) as I could not find the specification anywhere in the owners manual. I must also note I had the dealer install black OZ Adrenalina wheels so I don't know if the torque is the same for the stock wheels.
