If you like running with scrap parts exclusively, or as close to exclusively as possible (as I do), then you might consider how I mounted mine: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tml#post464528

I should warn that I expected this method to scratch the paint around the wheel well, but this was my third attachment method. All the others worked too, but I thought this was optimal in terms of durability, wheel clearance, and coverage--I I took the plunge and thought of it as a permanent mod. It has scratched the paint under the cover, not really badly, but yes... scratches in some places.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
