Default Foglight Screen Bolt IN??

Anybody bolt in a set of Z06 foglight screens? I didn't want to just velcro them in for fear of losing them. What's the best way to gain axcess to bolting them in like the Z06, anybody know?

I screwed mine in. One stainless sheet metal screen on either end directly into the plastic. I positioned the vents and determined the hole location. Then drilled the holes in the vent. Then mount in place holding with tape. From the front you'll need to open a larger screen section by pushing the wires back, large enough to slip the screw stuck to the end of the screwdriver. The screw will self tap into the plastic. Reallign the screen wires and your done.

No need to screw them on, tape/velcro works just fine and simple to install/remove for cleaning or whatever!
