i started installing my stillen lip on my 95 se and ran into a problem. i used up each type of rivet home depot had and none would hold it properly, i switched to bolts and nuts for now but looks ugly as sin with them sticking out. i need to know the proper rivet to use and also an adhisive to make it an even tougher bond. thanks

I couldnt tell ya man, sorry. I took my stillen kit to the bodyshop and had them paint and install it. My kit came with a small packet of rivets...have you tried looking for more of the same type? If it were me, I would probably go ask a bodyshop and see what they would recommend. On the other hand, you could just try another Home Depot or just wait till they get another order in (which I believe they get weekly). Good Luck!!
