Default Installing fender flares

I just got a set of the GS fender flares and was wondering how they're fastened to the car.

I got a set a couple of weeks ago that I have not installed yet.They came with mounting screws.I don't want to drill holes in my car so I think I will be using the tape as well.

3M two sided tape is the best from what I've been told.

BTW Where did you get the flares? GM parts direct?

Would you know the part #'s by any chance?

Default Part numbers

At gmpartsdirect the numbers are:

8889124 passenger front wheel opening molding, discontinued, GM still
show to have stock available.
88891153 driver rear fender opening molding.
88891154 passenger rear fender wheel opening molding.

The guy you want is:

Bob Wendorff
Parts Manager
Fichtner Chevrolet
406-628-4618
800-234-5284

I just ordered a set of him myself. He's cheaper and faster than gmpartsdirect.....

I bought mine from Ecklers. Not cheap, but they had them in stock and shipped them quickly.

If 3M will work well, that's much easier than screws.

Pic seconded.. This sounds interesting, and perhaps one of the few 'apperarance' items I might actually consider screwing into my car..

If I remember correctly, I paid about $120 for the pair. I'm in the process of sanding them for paint, so it will be a while before I can post pictures. I have them in my friends's shop so I can't run into the garage to snap a picture.
