Those turned out great Craig. As I recall, they just use those stamped metal nuts used for the GTO badges and such.

I have several of these valences at home with the trim installed and can likely take a picture by this weekend of the nuts/attachment, but as Greg provides, they are a stamped metal nut holding them in place.

Thanks Guys
Is there nothing between the nut and the sheet metal .
Or
Does the nut distort to lock in against the valance to lock in.
