Need help with Z06 Front screen install
My screens didn't come with any mounting hardware. I'm looking for some tips on velcro or glue. I don't want something that will mar the paint in the event that I later remove them. Thanks in advance!

I went to Home Dept and got the all weather velcro in the hardware section. It has been great. It hold like I screwd it on. As for the paint I have no idea if it will hurt it in the long run but I doubt it. :cheers:

Here's what I did. Apply a strip of double edged carpet tape to all 4 outer edges. Peel just enough of the wax paper backing so that you can get a grip for the next step. Put screens into place (they fit perfectly) and pull the backing away. I guarentee not only will they stay as long as you want, but you will love new look.
Good luck.

that's what I did but I used way too much and wasn't able to get them in all the way before they stuck. so be careful--I don't know where to begin as far as removing them to adjust the depth.

I used velcro. That way you can remove them easily for cleaning and for the stock look. I used a lot of the soft side on the screen housing but only very little of the abrasive side on the car, way back on the bottom and not so far back on the top.
First however, I took them appart and painted the screens with Rust-O-leum, aluminum colored paint then glued them back together.
