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?

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.
