Im getting 30mm overfenders for my car, and was wondering a few things/

I see some fiberglass them into the body.

Other rivet them on.

And then other attatch them in a way that it looks like its just hanging there..???

Any ideas on how this is done? Some kinda glue or something??

Like this...



Also, i got these sideskirts off a buddy, anybody know what type they are?? WE both had no idea...

I dont know man, Rivets are a nice pretty permanent fastener, and keep it snug up against the body pretty well. 3m Double sided tape might be for you once you fit them, it'll hold fine.

Both are kinda sketchy so I try to avoid overfenders all together, but I wish u luck and plz update on what u did.

i dont know what kind of sideskirts those are, but in the pic you posted those rear .25 over fenders are riveted on (look at the top of it). ive never installed over fenders before so i dont know what the underneath part of it looks like, but there is an epoxy out there that i use to use when we worked at body shops for putting new bedside truck panels on instead of welding them. its not something half assed. 3M makes the product, and its called panel bonding adhesive. i used it to make a custom front lip for my 4th gen lude out of the bottom of a stock lexus sc300 front bumper. shlt works wonders!!

the fronts come as an entire new fender, so you just unbolt your old one and bolt the new POS fiberglass one up....
