Default How are your shine sideskirts attatched?

I dropped my car off at the body shop today to get my aerosync front and Shine Auto JDM nismo sideskirts put on. I showed my guy the places on the side where it looks like they bolt onto the car and he told me he would use rivets. He described them as rivets like on NASCAR cars.. I never put much thought into how they were attatched but I alluded they were bolted on. So how are yours attatched?

I just can't picture it. He said it would look clean so I'll trust him. I just needed a 3rd party input lol. Thanks

On mine I have the bolts on the bottom and used bolts on the rear instead of the plastic pop rivets, screws in front and double sided tape on the sill...I didnt want to use screws because that **** looks worse

On the seal of the door, there are something like 6 holes. They're made into the sideskirts and look like they are for bolts. I'd attach a pic but I'm on my phone. This is where he is talking about riveting

Nutserts. I can't remember the size that fits but it's way better appearance wise, and removable. The body tech is just trying to take the easy way out.

I've never heard of those but I will definitely tell him to look into them. Thanks.
