Sure bro.

Drill out your rivets from the inside of the wheel well. Replace with flare and screws.

thanks gizzmo. so take the wheel off and drill them out. I guess self tapping screws would be best? Are the 2 screws enough to hold it?

2 screws and some 3M exterior tape on the end towards the back bumper. Not to much, else it'll be impossible to get it off. cwp_sedan can attest to that.

just curious about the OEM ones, the instructions says cross hairs for where to drill...are they all on the inside of the bumper? or do we just align it and drill?
