Exclamation Nutserts for sideblades install

Can anyone tell me if there are any cons to using Nutserts for sideblades and a front lip install? The front lip is carbon fiber. The sideblades are from Ventus Autoworks and are made of Aluminum composite if that makes a difference.

Everything I've seen on youtube has been about the pros. What about the downsides? I'm heading to the body shop tomorrow to request some paint work done along with the install and I wanted to request they use nutserts for easy removal.

Thoughts?

I had mine installed with rivets and them removed so they can be installed with nutserts! I have not heard of a downside and lots time attack cars have them as their aero is modular.

Isnt there only thin abs on the underside for the side skirts? Im surprised that nutserts could hold in just thin abs without just spinning in the hole or pulling out easily.

Well I wasn't sure if it was possible or a good idea. But it seems it is possible.. I haven't decided yet how I will install them though.

I used something like this when I installed a rear wind deflector on my older Santa Fe. Worked like a charm. These inserts come in a bunch of sizes (I just picked this one for reference).

Did you get them installed with the nutserts yet? If so how did it turn out?
