Does anyone know the best way to bolt the Z06 foglight screens in? I don't want to use the velcro but am unsure how to get access to bolt the screens in. Anybody do it that way???

there's nothing to screw them into from the lower holes. i dont think it's worth it to do all the work it would take to screw them in. velcro or double sided tape works just as well.

Velcro is really the way to go. Put the velcro strips on the top and bottom. Slide in the screens with paper (the stuff dealers use to protect your carpet when in for service is the best) to keep the velcro from "grabbing". Pull out the paper and you have a great bond.

I used just regular kitchen waxed paper. It worked great! Also, with the velcro, those things aren't going anywhere.

Not only do they stay when driving, they are easily removable for cleaning behind them anytime you wish.

I used velcro strips on mine, but my strips seem to be sliding forward.

Now you can see the edges of the strips with the screens in, and also leftover sticky gunk behind the strips!

Anybody else have this problem/ have a solution?:

Go to Home Depot and get 3M Velco with the heavy duty stick on application and do what is suggested above. No drilling holes and easy to return to stock.
