Some recommend to use wellnuts, not rivnuts. They use rubber or similar, and seal better. It prevents water from entering the unibody, and rattling.

Narfle has probably seen that YouTube build with the rocket bunny kit and is referencing that. That was kind of disastrous and the next owner ended up drilling out all the rivnuts and using well nuts.

On my S2000, I used M5 rivnuts. You wont see the rivnuts with the over fender installed, so just get some black bolts.
