I would lose the rivets... The amount of bondo added up would likely weigh about the same as the rivets, and if you apply it right it won't crack away... Your car though!

nice, I'm sure it will turn out awesome. I just hope you have the engine to match the looks of your car.
You'll definitly notice the rivets if no bondo is put on it.

And thanks for the supprt of the rivets. Everyone always likes to bondo ****. Most professional race cars dont bondo; rivets paint, and vinyl make the rivets almost invisible. Remember its not painted yet.

Honestly, the rivets serve a purpose... they make all the body panels easy to remove in the case of any body damage from "racing"... any kid on here that thinks that aesthetics are more important than function, is probably a fan boy or is otherwise ignorant to this.
So in other words... the build looks good... you can leave the molded panel/body kits to the recently converted FNF Honduh crowd...
w3rd.

I like riveted flares, but an entire rear 1/4 section riveted in just looks like you're covering up body damage... Thanks for your useless input though...
and fyi, he may not have been directing that comment at you, as a LOT of the people that posted in this thread said he should mold them on instead of the rivets. so no need to get all upset about it.
but for all the rivet haters...

I think the point was to show off the awesome rivets on those cars and show off the molded kits on those retarded looking 240's.

Any one know where to get that red hatch on red FC??? thats badass, especially in the event my glass goes kaputt.
Rivits are all good. i saw a supra with rivits all over his fenders at a race shop down in tampa, all i could do was drool. Rvits are fine... i think tho IMO... your rivits are a bit busy in comparison.
edit:
Forgot that you'll be painting over them... should look fine.

Hmm the rivets in the pictures of the show cars, are riveted on after the panel was painted...
Doesn't do a thing for me, but then I generally think flares look ricer gay on street FCs anyway.
