Got wheel well trim for my 73 RR, didn't haven't on when I bought the car just the holes. I noticed the ones I got don't have fasteners or anything to go into the holes around the wheel well, what type of fasteners are to be used?
Thanks

Here is a pic of the rear trim holes.Instead of a hole in the end of the trim like the rear, the front trim pieces use a clip that has a threaded screw which fits though a hole in the lower wheel well and a sheet metal nut on the inside.

Awesome! Pictures help a lot! And yes the back ones do have holes for screws, I assume they use the stainless screw with rubber on the back?
I got really luck on the trim - guy was selling a satellite on eBay with trim on and I asked about them, turned out he had a whole other set that don't appear to have been on a car. Only problem was no fasteners!
Another question, is the black insert painted, mine have some small scratches in the black but in other spot it almost looks like a thin black rubber or something?

Should clean up after hitting it with a small wire brush in a Dremel tool. The nut sometimes has a (usually?) plastic crown (not shown).

Not really able to find sets of these, I found a guy who has them NOS for all 4 wheel wells for $100... seems to be a little much but I am wondering if it would be worth it to just have the right clips... thoughts????
