For the plastic louvers, the mounting fasteners differed between the 05's and later models. The 05's I think were rivetted on, later were held on with threaded fasteners.
The smaller pieces have prongs on the sides that fit into holes in the lid.
The larger pieces have prongs on the sides fitting into side holes, and fasteners that fit into holes in the lid at the back of the large pieces.
That's the best thing about the eliseusa pieces...they cover or at least mask the existing lid holes. They come with double sided tape, but I figured that engine heat would render the adhesive questionnable, so I came up with the black zip tie solution.
On the other hand, they are very expensive, the mesh is pretty large, and one may or may not like the 'top of the lid' look.
These look great. I'd probably use just the side screws, or better yet black rivets. I'd put rubber plugs into the rear-most holes.
