You don't need to screw them to the car. Since they are not made out of plastic, they tend to stay put and not slide out like some other boxes. Plus, they are made to fit tightly in the respective space and will not move at all if installed properly. There is a lot of thought behind those boxes. Every cut and every angle has a purpose.
I have a drivers side 12" stealthbox.
Nothing holding it in, but I'm thinking about making something, because every now and then it slides outta there.
No big deal really, just annoying.

Not necessary - though both of mine have been BJ Nolen boxes. They fit as tight as you want. I always do a single Lbracket because I like overkill. Not needed. With a proper install, if you wreck and your stealth box moves into your personal space, you have bigger problems than where it's going . . .

You CAN run around with four donut/spares for tires but its not safe. Why risk something so simple as building a bracket when your playing with your life.

The trim panel doesnt fit over it like it should. Is there a trick to making it sit flush so everything snaps back together like it should?

i agree, find some way to secure it other than the friction fit of it, if you got in a wreck and that thing came loose it could take your (or your passengers) head clean off. i have mine secured with an l-bracket and its also l-bracketed to my amp rack. truth be told even if i was in a violent wreck its still not tied down good enough.
