You could do it either way as far as I'm concerned. I went with the square look, and screws.   :2cents:

The stupid things have been scratched up from me having to force the pins in! Did I install it wrong? Instead of the square look of the rivots while looking head on like the picture above mine is oreiented differently, I must've had a few drinks that day  :roflsmiley:

Yeah they do get scuffed up a bit from where the pin slides in and out I don`t think there is much you can do about it. Ain`t no shame in working in the driveway either. Thats how I had to do it way back when and it was a stone drive way to boot! I still don`t have a true garage I use one of those portable tents to work on my car but compared to a rock driveway it`s the Taj Mahal!
