well last weekend was open so i final decided to install my oil cooler/brake ducts. i initially thought of using rivets to attached them to the bumper. but couldn't find any black rivets (granted i only looked one place) then, i thought "what if i get in a fender bender and i get a new bumper, how do i get them back off" so i decided to use allen head machine screws, washers, bolts and blue loc-tite. when drilling the holes i used a drill bit with the closest size smaller diameter to the screw so it would have something to bite into and thread as i installed them. i'm not going to pretend i'm a master (or even good at) body work but i think it turned our pretty nice

beautiful. Much nicer looking than the silver rivets.

 

Looks good. Where'd you get those ducts?

What size hardware did you use? Looks real nice!

 

its been a while, but if i remember right it was 3/32" hardware. that was just my personal preferance. i didnt want to see huge screw heards hanging out, so i went small.

 

Cool, Thanks!
