When you mount the nismo rep sides did you only have to screw in the bottom? Do you have to double-tape the top part or does it hang out?
I mounted each one using one screw, one plastic screw rivet, and 3M tape along the top. You re-use one of the stock mud guard screws in the wheel well, and then you drill a hole through the bottom of your bumper lining up with the corresponding hole in the bottom flange of the Nismo piece. I found it easiest to use a screw rivet at this location.
(like this):
Then 3M tape just below the top, so that it shows minimally when mounted up.

Thanks. Yea I've done the 3m towards the top and it seems that every year I have to redo them because the tape tears out. Good luck with ur sale!

It took me two attempts to get them lined up so that the top line of the fin followed along the bumper properly....and even then, it wasn't perfect. These replicas do not 'snap' into place like 100% OEM parts tend to.
ALSO, added a couple new pics to the original post and adjusted the price on the Veilside pieces.
