Follow the instructions exactly and you'll be fine. For the plastic factory rivets, don't try to yank them out, you'll stretch the factory holes and the crush sleeves won't fit as tight(ask me how I know), take the time to drill them out like Bill recommends.
Agree. Did same thing..

Personally, I got new front bolts ordered, did not re-use stock.
Also did not use hardware sent with fronts, used plastic rivets for a tight fit.
Interesting.

The front uses 2 bolts (different sizes) 1 fwd wheel well, 1 aft (that I recall). May be 2 fwd, 1 aft.
Ordered from the dealer new ones.
Used plastic rivets on remainder

My plan for the fronts when I purchase is to fasten with the same style plastic rivets that are currently there for the fender well liners. The rivnuts are permanent. There is no removing those. I avoid stuff like that when possible. I’m a “factory” nut. Passed this by bill and he didn’t see any issues going this route.

Got my shipping notice as well. Looking forward to getting them installed. :)
Now I gotta get serious about looking at wheels because I have a feeling they are gonna make my stock setup look like pizza cutters.

Dang it. Just noticed paint chip.
Caused by bending tab back after NOT drilling original out at first.
Easy touch up. No one would notice.
