Hey there, I found a nice set of trims including wheels well pieces, unfortunately with no those nice wide stainless steel panels, only thin trims and wheels well trims. For wheel well it seems I have most of holes, not a big issue to drill a couple more (except the very rear wheel well piece, it doesn't seem to match body lines perfectly, it seems much more curvy that body line on mine, and seems a bit longer too).
The issue starts with the thin horizontal trims. The holes on mines are sealed and I'm not 100% I'd like to drill the body, so mu question is - anyone tried to put them on 3M tape or something? Maybe sticky foam? Or they are too heavy and will turn projectiles on a first road bump?
PS. Does anyone have a closeup image of the very rear wheel well pieces attachment?
I know guys who use windshield urethane sometimes but with that style of moulding you'd have to fill the entire backside of that channel. If everything is clean and if you used some urethane primer first I bet it would work well though.

Hmm.. whoa, that's gonna take like 5 buckets of urethane:) I thought maybe a thick and thin double sided foam... But maybe il just go with the drilling:(
Looks like the repair didn't take into consideration that the lower quarter has a slight concave.
This might sound dumb, But I'd actually consider cutting a slot in that trim to the inside . One cut at your thumb, and another at about 1" up from the bottom.
Then bend it to fit the flat lower line.

There's a decent chance I'll have to:(
Yeah, it feels like something went wrong when the car was done last time. However it feels like metal, not bondo.
