thanks alot guys

Rivets, or self-tapping screws

As long as it's done right with adhesive promoter and proper prep-work, the double-sided tape is fine, but if you want to be sure, you could always use screws or rivets as suggested above.

and what would i cover them with?

screw it from the inside out.

as ci5ic said, prep it properly and it will hold like grandma's teeth. i had a heck of a time pulling mine off. then had the fun of getting the leftover tape on the car off

word of advise, test fit them to see exactly where you want them. i mean really take your time. my caps rubbed and it drove me nuts. probably a good reason i pulled them off :grinno:

what did you do to prep the surface?
i really dont feel like having to go threw the process to drill and fill in holes and what not

We used rubbing alcohol to remove any wax, road grime, etc... before attaching the door caps. I've had the WW kit on my car for about 4 years now & the two-sided tape hasn't failed me yet.

The weather hasn't made a difference either. From temps as low as -50, all the way up to low 100's I've had no problems.

Oh, and to cover the holes in the body (from removing the stock trim) we used pieces of vinyl - the type used to make stickers - to cover/seal the holes...

would you need to even cover the holes? cause your putting the door caps in place of that correct?

^^yeah thats what i was thinking^^

I covered the holes to keep any potential moisture out. I didn't want the inside of my doors filling up with water every time I washed the car, or it rained.

It was more of a precaution... It's not something that has to be done, but better safe than sorry...

yeah thats waht i figured

I am thinking about double sided taping, but before I lay it on there, I want to take some "Gorilla Glue" on both sides of that tape... Gorilla Glue is as strong as concrete, even better IMO.

They come with the double-sided tape already applied to them.
