Rivets to hold body kit on?

Should i use rivets in the front and rear spoiler when installing my wings west W-type kit next week. Would it be better to just use extra screws?

Rivets have a way of working themselves loose. I would use screws.

When I bought my car it had rivets holding the body kit on. They did indeed work their way loose and it made the paint bubble up where they poked through.
