Pick up some #10 stainless steel screws instead, much better match to the oem screw you are replacing. And won’t rust.Thanks. Maybe I’ll dig them out of the trash and buy some new hardware. I’ll attribute my comment to spending over an hour on one wheel for now and check back in.
I find the provided standoffs good for the bottom 2 screws. A slightly taller one for the top screw would allow the guard to sit more flush with the fender line. But I’m not sure I want the guard to have that much contact with the painted sections anyway. They curve slightly inwards when installed.
I think ZL1 didn’t go with the deluxe version material cos the thicker material won’t flex enough for the curve of our wheel arch + the recessed wheel well points.
i only wish i installed my set sooner. I sat on mine (took my time buying tools) and ended up with some tiny chips on my front fender. Now, I don’t have to curse every time I hear rocks rattling. Tran Hai’s YouTube installation video was really helpful for me since I didn’t take the rear wheels off.
