I googled for a thread and what I’m looking for is the 3M part number for the bonding material for the side vents. Not planning on Velcro so just need the part number. Thanks in advance.

I use 3M Marine High Strength Repair Filler to bond studs to the body then bolt the louvers on to those.

I used the 3M HSRF filler that Jeff mentioned with these Rotalock studs:

Another option would be to NOT bond them at all and simply find fender Emblems that have posts & nuts to hold them in place.
That was my solution but more often than not, I tend to go in the opposite direction compared to everyone else.
For me it was an easy choice since 383 Mopar Emblems were an easy to find subtle solution.
With that said, Bond Away!

I purchased this sink kit and used the M6 studs: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0878Z7Z1F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used the exact same kit with Evercoat Everglass to bond them - worked great.
