Default EOS zr1 side skirts missing hardware

I bought these to put on my car, but they didn't come with any hardware, just some double sided tape. does anyone know what screws/bolts/nuts I would need and how many? I tried sending them an email asking for the info but never got a response, so I just hope somebody knows what I need so I can go buy it and put these things on. thanks!

This is what I used for my fiberglass C7 Carbon side skirts. Even though they came with hardware I heard better reviews using these.

thanks! what about where the splash guards meet with the side rocker? also did you use this to attach the splash guards to the wheel well as well?

If I recall I was able to use hardware off wheel liner and then add these as needed.

If you expand photo you can see the two screws I added. But again these were C7 Carbons fiberglass side skirts I think EOS are different.

Interesting...I just got my cheapo ABS EOS skirts and have the screws/hardware kit but no double sided tape. I’ll only get around to installing in a few weeks, but it appears I’ll have to get more screws too.

I’ll also be putting protective film over the tops of the skirts to avoid scuffs as well as on the wheel well spats. The ABS looks cheap enough to shatter if a small stone or pebble gets kicked up

My ZR1 came from the factory with aluminum pop rivets.
I replaced my side skirts about 2 years ago.
Drilled out the soft rivets (easy) & installed new aluminum ones.

To answer your 2nd question:
Fastening splash guards to the side skirts, as it came from the factory-
aluminum pop rivets also.

I used self tapping screws as well, but used rubber washers in between the skirt and body so no rubbing/ movement occurred. Almost 3 years, still zero issues. Best of luck!

I hadn't thought of the ABS possibly cracking from the underside due to rock impacts. I'm going to attach mine in a couple of weeks but now I'm thinking it can't hurt to either coat the bottom of them with some kind of epoxy or maybe even a couple of layers of Gorilla Tape. I'm still debating on using the supplied screws or going with rivets.

Hmm...maybe I’ll put some Gorilla tape underneath. Good idea.
I’m also debating whether or not to use rivets instead.
GM did...

Either way, it’s kinda unappealing to me to drill holes into the rockers 😬
