love or stupidity

[BMW X5]

ok so as you know i got my car back from body shop after the darned accident. and i figured i waited long enough w/o running boards. so i decided to have today be the day. first ill say it took me 4hrs +- a few. but heres where the love or stupidity: it wasnt raining but it was about 35degrees. so i have the driver side attached and putting on the rear wheel trim and it starts to rain. so i look at the car put on a jacket and figure i cant leave it like this because well if i dont do it now its going to take for ever. so needless to say 4hrs, frozen hands, feet and soaking wet i finished the boards. PROBLEM i should have listened to you guys on the rivets and got more of the blind ones as i need 4 at the moment. and also i need to figure out what to attach at the bottom of the wheel trim the instructions say use expanding rivets however the picture looks like the expanding ones that i threw out and they didnt come with it. for what reason are the blind rivets perfect count while the stupid expanding ones are left over and i have 4 left over clips for the under board plastic i guess they thought of extras except for the ones that actually break.


HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
