You got that right. I'm in the same boat. I'll have tail moldings, and lower and/or upper moldings. Sport mirrors too. Not one hole.

Note: I've been advised to use a very good multi bit to drill those screw holes where the vehicle has already been painted. Have also heard it's a good idea to place tape over the paint before you drill. You may want to treat the area you've drilled to prevent rust. I've seen where clear caulking was used to achieve that, which is what I'll probably do. Not that I'm in much danger for rust. Always garaged in Nevada.
