Mudflap Question

I was woundering, would I be able to put my mudflaps on with just Trim Adhesive glue? Or something like that? I don't want to actually put any new holes in the new body so I was woundering if it will hold up good enough or not?

Mudflaps are good. It kept my FB's lower body panels nice and clean especially during burn-outs. And they are screwed-in as stated above.

I know they originally came screwed in ... i have them on my car (well they're half on right now ) and you can really tell the effect of them during the winter season, but i just wanted to be able to put them on without havind to worry about rust from thsoe holes later on ... so not even like a window urethane glue would work?

Nope, screws or pop rivets are your only long term solution.

Bore the hole and then put some POR-15 (or equivalent) in it with a tiny brush.
