Wheel skirts done!

Drilling holes in the body is a no-no here in the rust belt (I plan on keeping this car for at least the next decade), and after further thought I didn't like the idea of velcro. So, I ended up using plastic rivets--typical automotive body fasteners for things like bumper covers, underbody panels, etc.

On to the pictures:


Fastener for the skirts; clamps to the wheel arch lip.
