Rocketbunny flare Install - Rivet Nuts ?
 
Hey all...

So I finally got around to taking off my rocketbunny flares for the first time... to my utter dismay the flares were simply fastened to the body using traditional metal screws and really didn't have any bite whatsoever into the body. ..I expected more from speedhunters...

Anyways...what does everyone use to fasten their flares to their car?
I was searching around and all i could find were rivet nuts. It looks like it'll get the job done just fine. Couldn't find anything using search.

I used rivet nuts to install my flares and haven't had a single issue with them at all. It's really easy to install too!

Very good to know, thanks for quick reply. Just ordered the tool and hardware.

Was wondering, what size rivets did you guys order?

I just ordered 10-24 machine screws. I bought 50x pack in two lengths, 3/4" and 1 1/2". I don't suspect i'll need longer than 3/4" but just wanted to be sure..
I'll post pics when I mount.

Awesome, I hope they work perfect for you. I've been wanting to prep for install. Cutter, rivet tool and hardware, paint for bare metal, maybe some for added protection and I should be ready for some fun.
