Re: Z06 screen install options ? (8vettes)
Hey, I used the double-sided tape on mine. I also used some small bungy cords & attached the hooks to the holes in the screens. I ran the bungy from the hole on one end of the screen around the fram rail & back to the hole on the other side. Was easy but you need small hands.

I used 3M double sided tape and after I ran a small bead of clear sealant across the top of the screens where you can't see it,(I didn't want to lose them).

1/2" 3M double sided "body molding tape". Available at auto parts stores. Only need to do the bottom and curved sides of the screen frames. Velcro will work, however it will be too easy to remove if someone wants a "5-finger discout" on the screens. The d/s tape is extremely difficult to remove without a heat gun and some sort of putty knife and adds security.

Re: Z06 screen install options ? (8vettes)
Blackjack & NastyC5 did a totally custom install on my screens and PIAA 1100X lights on Saturday. They totally removed the nose of the car & removed the OEM foglights and surrounding plastic area. They then installed the PIAA's in the place of the OEM foglights and hard wired them in. Then they bolted the Screens in the open areas making them perfectly flush with the body. The Screen area is now totally open like a Z06 and you can see the dark blue lens of the PIAA's through the screens. Looks Awesome!!! :eek:

Hey there 8vettes. I just had mine installed. Interestingly, I told my installer friend to velcro them in. He did some kind of bolt on thing similar to the way they are on a real Z06. Either way I am sure that it will work just fine. Her is a pick of them on my car:
Hope this helps.
