Rivets for sideskirts

Anyone know what kind of rivets to use for my AA sideskirts? They supply screws with the kit but I was told to use rivets. I already installed them with the screws but would like to add rivets.

If you used screws, there's absolutely no reason to put on the rivets. They really aren't under a tremendous amount of wind stress, like a splitter is.

Had body shop put in two rivets I couldn't get to bite. They used a kind they said starred out instead of just fattening up. Wish I could tell you nomenclature.

I installed the ACS composite ZL1 side skirts; they came with 3/16 tri-fold type Large Head Rivets in Black. You can get these on Amazon. I would use a few rivets in addition to the screws you want to make sure its snug and would come loose.

Hey Chris...thanks for rivets and quick shipping! I'm removing my GM front splash guards, they use 4 rivets on each side, any idea on how to remove the rivets? Thx.

I usually use a 3/8 drill bit and just slowly drill into the head until the head is separated.
