Front accent question

I have tried to get in contact with dennis regarding the screws for the Front accent. My shipment didn't come with them (no big deal really) just want to know exactly what to buy so it doesnt fall off.

Thanks for any help anyone can give me

There are two "christmas tree" pins that push in from both sides. Those are apparently missing. If I recall correctly they are 9mm and very hard to find. I would suggest going to the hardware store and finding a couple of small (1/2 " long) screws and matching nuts. Put the screws in the two holes from the tire sides of the accent and hand tighten the nut from the back side. Should hold just fine. It just needs to protrude enough to "catch" the sides of the built-in accent mount in the event it were to "fall" forward.

Hope that makes sense/helps.

Rotary accent? If it is then it is just double sided tape (see next post for correct information please). If it is the fog light strakes then you are missing hardware.

The front accent incorporates 2 retaining pins that extend through two holes in the accent and sit behind the built-in rotary mount.

Honest ...

OK...you are the expert...I sit corrected! As loose fitting as mine is you couldn't tell that it had any type of pins.
