Turbo Flares & Front Airdam Screws

[ashkman]

I'll be in the process of installing turbo flares and the front air dam soon.  Wondering what type of screws and what sizes folks have used.  I did some search but no one really talked about what they've used. 

 

Thanks.

Ireland Engineering has a kit, chrome plated phillips head machine screws, black nylon nuts.

Thanks. I saw that! I'm looking to do black screws.  Didn't know what size they need to be.  Sorta the creative side of folks!

Stainless #10 Philips screws & neoprene washers.

Thanks Andrew.  Do you know if it's 1" or 1/2" #10.  Don't want them to be too long.

I might install turbo flares on one of my 2002s and have thought about using nutserts. Anyone using them?

Thanks, Andrew.

IMHO there's not enough metal thickness in the fenders for nutserts and they will spin easily making a real project to to get the flairs unbolted also how often are you going to remove the flairs?

Here’s what rivets can look like (there’s a thin rubber washer behind each one). -KB

These work great on sheetmetal - https://www.mcmaster.com/blind-rivet-nuts

Prefer Stainless screws, stainless trim washers and neoprene washers.

 

Thought the hardware used on Vern's air dam was overkill.
