[QUOTE="bluesdog, post: 1271954, member: 25896"] I'd bet they are all pretty similar. At least, to my eye they look alike. The consensus seems to be that they all come with inadequate and/or ugly mounting methods, so many who purchase one or the other uses a good adhesive. I suspect the manufacturers supply those methods to avoid complaints from customers who may change their minds (?) and want to remove the item. Except those ugly screws would leave nearly as ugly holes [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/weirdsmiley.gif[/IMG] I think using double sided tape would make for a weak and untrustworthy bond. So, I think I bought a Pyramid one from an online vendor. It was inexpensive, looked OK and came with those self-tapping screws which are probably still in the little plastic bag somewhere. I used an automotive quality glue called GOOP. I've had satisfactory experience with it, and didn't happen to have any ABS at the time. Removal of a glued on one would clearly be impossible, but then why would one wish to remove the thing? I guess I'd resort to using a saw if for some bizarre reason I wanted to shorten my fender back to OEM [/QUOTE]
