yes you just drill slowly through them. Start off with a small drill bit, and then work your way up to the correct size bit. I'd at least get a drill bit about half the size you need, then use the size that you need, but still take your time

I didn't even use pilot holes, because I really didn't care about breaking mine. They held up fine.

Do you have stock ones that you're going to be getting rid of?

What's the fitment like on these fenders? Are they generally the same width as OEM? I could really use some fenders that are 10mm to 20mm wider at the fender opening for wider front tires...
