You can place the screws at the back , under the car , not visible from behind . the tape is more than enough , I didnt use the screws personally but did insert 2 rivets ...................take your time , and second pair of hands is very helpful because once the tape goes down , it wont come up easily , and if it does you likely have compromised its adhesive qualities................good luck !
so used Sikaflex 227, it was easier to install as it wasnt an instant stick and i could adjust it and held it on with masking tape and a few hours later all done. Sikaflex 227 was recommended by the distributor as in summer with the temp in the 40's quite often and with heat being used to take badges off i thought... nahhhh.
........the matte finish on these diffusers is only primer . you might consider a matte black paint and matte clear coat for a better look ??
Its matte black paint, not just a matte black primer finish.
Nice install Dave !! I actually painted my diff myself , it was an oem color kit with clear coat and was bang on , !! ...........if you arent happy with your color and finish it would be relatively easy to mask and repaint with a flat ( or gloss ) and clear coat to achieve your objective ..........or take the whole rear oem diff off ..................and paint the tips as well ............Thanks. Yes, I tinted the taillights with vinyl and blacked out the rear reflectors. Also have the blacked out headlight amber as well.
l still needed to run a bead along edge to fill in small gap as l couldn't stand looking at that...guess l'm toooo Anal
Like that idea, especially painting the tips!
i used some dbl sided tape just to get it in place then these Trim Screws they work great and look neater than screws
I'm sure the tape will suffice , but if the screws are place far enough forward you'll never see them , rivets are a bit more work and you'll need a rivet gun , it leaves a good finish though which I touched up with paint ....................
