Side skirts install, screws of rivets ?
So I got some vicrez side skirts and I'm wondering how should I install them ? Self tapping hex screws 5/16" ? Or rivets ? If so what size rivets ? 5/16" ? Don't want to lose my skirts when I drive the car over 130mph.
What about 3m tape ? Maybe a combination of screws and tape ? Thank you |

I've never heard of them, but what does the manufacturer suggest using?
There are some super-strong 3M tapes these days. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/c/tape.../i/automotive/ BMW attaches stuff with Betalink - it does the job but can be next to impossible to remove. Use the tape if you plan on removing the parts in the future. https://www.bimmerworld.com/Body-Aer...stall-Kit.html

I installed the factory ones with the supplied 3M tape and aluminum rivets, forget what side. Worked fine.

Will try tomorrow with better light. That said it's black so the side blades barely show. IMO I wouldn't waste the time and $ for side blades on a dark car.
Much bigger bang for buck installing the Lightweight front lip. It's much better quality than OEM, indestructible and a lot easier to install. IND can source for you (at least they could back when I got mine). Nice taste in cars BTW...
