What I did to attach Liz's kit to her car (the previous "expert" attached it with 2 screws) is to drill a partial hole (halfway down the material) that's slightly bigger than the self-tapping screw head. I thenn drilled the self tapper in there, used a grinder to flush up the bolt with the surrounding material, then I filled the hole and surrounding irregularities with body filler.DO NOT USE SPOT PUTTY! IT WILL CRACK OFF! whatever minor irregularities were filled with spot putty, wet sanded, scratch filler primer, and painted.
You can't tell there's a screw there. I did the same to attach my fender flares to the pony (i used heat to melt the plastic around the screw, then put a bit of spot putty over the hole)
