Default RS Kit Questions

I bought a 2002 camaro and the previous owner removed the factory RS ground effects. It has a bunch of little holes down the rockers where I'm assuming it was used to mount.

My question is what do you use to attach the pieces? are they simply screws or is there something special? Is there anything special i need to use to attach any of it like the rear valence? Where could i get the mounting hardware?

Also where is a good place to find the RS ground effects? I really want to reinstall them as i love the locks and it already has the RS spoiler on it. Is there a company that makes an aftermarket reproduction kit that looks exactly the same as factory? everything i have found looks close but is not the same.

no, there is no company that makes a kit that looks exactly the same, there aren't any that are even close to the front pieces, the sides are pretty
interchangeable with the rksports kit or the wings west kit, not a huge variation between them. i forget exactly how the rksports looks in the rear,
but i feel like it's fairly similar to the rs kit, i could be wrong though.

as far as finding stock replacements, your best bet is going to be to check ebay, parts classifieds here on ls1tech or other f-body forums, or even
junk/salvage yards. Pretty sure gm sells them, but it'd be rape to buy from them. They were originally mounted with some sort of rivets/retainer things,
but thats not really necessary, most of the aftermarket kits are just mounted with double sided tape, which gets the job done fine.
