I suppose you could use screws if you wanted. I read a couple other threads from people that put these on and everybody was using rivets. After doing the same i gotta say rivets were far easier than I think screws would be. You just drill the hole pop it in and done.

Looks great Paul Some people have used self tapping screws as well on the skirts. Another thing is double sided tape would help when installing them as you could have them held on that way while you put in your screws or rivets.
Btw, where the picture of you're Parrot? Lol!!

Hey Pete Thanks! I did buy some #10 self tapping screws just in case but didn't use them and good tip on the double sided tape. The rivets were just too easy. Drill a 3/16" hole and done. Held them on nice and right too.
As for my parrot, well....

Man you are an ambitious guy. You have done a great job personalizing your car and all of pretty darn tasteful I must add. I just installed CCW Sp 16a's on my car and I like them very much, yours look really sharp with the red.
Good health to you. Keep at it, beautiful ride.

I love the SP16's they weren't exactly what I started off looking for but when I saw another member selling them I had to go for them and I'm really glad that I did. He has a black Z06 as well so I know just how good they look on that color car.

Got my Wing/spoiler back from paint and had the shop go ahead and mount it for me… Very Excited!!!!! I had them paint the whole thing but leave the carbon fiber showing on the rear part and then clear coat over top the whole thing so there is no paint line that you can feel. Was very relieved at how well they match the paint up. You definitely get what you pay for especially when it comes to paint.

Thanks guys,
I'd love to take credit for the idea but I had a fellow CF member show me his painted the same way. His happened to also be torch red and he said he wouldn't mind a bit if I copied him so that's what I did.
I couldn't for the life of me remember his screen name though to give him credit. Thanks Pete for mentioning T Brent I'm not sure if that's the guy that showed me or not but I love his idea. :-)
