I drilled the first holes about 30mm from the corner edge and than equal distance about every 200mm. The front was a pain in the a***. I used I think 4.8mm x10 self-tapping screws with rubber washer.

Also, what do you mean by long fasteners? I have my front and rear splitters arriving on Friday so I plan to install over the weekend.

Any advise/suggestions/tips are much much appreciated.
Think I used eight 6mm x 10mm stainless with washers and didnt bother with the self tappers. Its been on 10,000 miles and not moved at all.
You mean washers or nuts/fasteners? I plan on using just the SS screws without any washer/nut…you think it will stay on or do I need to use a nut/washer?
