>>>I assume you left the word 'not' out of there--you're looking for a 
means of securing the panels that does NOT require the use of screws, right?

The panels were originally secured with clips AND screws.   You might get 
away with just using the clips?   They are very standard auto fasteners, 
available in better hardware stores.

Personally I like the look of the delicate little screws and washers.   And 
FWIW the GT5/GT5-S used those same screws I think.   The cars you may be 
thinking of are cars that have been converted to GT5 look and they decided to 
do away with them?

I think?
