    My Conversion So Far

    This is the stage my car is at. Still haven't drilled any stainless apart from the t panel.image.jpg

    I'm guessing double sided tape holds the bands on? I've always though a good glue or tape would be a better alternative.

    Yes

    I drilled the t panel but none if the other stainless, couldnt bring myself to do it. Found these small clips with an adhesive adhesive backing

    I don't blame you at all. The conversion looks good. Did you do anything to the inside?

    I am very impressed! The idea of a non damaging conversion is super appealing to me! At some point in the future I still want to try to create a reversible exterior replica that could be swapped on or off the car in a matter of 1-2 hours.

    +1. I don't know how anyone can bring themselves to drilling holes.

    I had to do it for the holes on my luggage rack...and even that hurt my insides a little bit.

    That's different, and some might say acceptable.

    It hurt me a little too drilling the mounts for my luggage rack. Permanant is permanant.
