Mounting Rear Over Fenders?

What is the best method to mount rear over fenders to the s2000? I need something that will secure over fenders firmly without damaging the fiberglass over fenders as well as the rear quarter panel, but also be easy enough to remove.

I keep reading to use rivnuts. Thoughts/opinions?

I've heard timeserts are a good option. That way you can screw it in and remove it when you want to.

Any links to the timeserts that you will be using?

I did a search online and the results mainly came up with thread stripping and helicoil comparisons.
