Progress of my custom VII splitter!!!
hey guys and gals i need your opinion...I am stuck on how to attach the damn thing...i kinda like the "bolt" look like in the varis oil cooler vent and apr side splitters...or should i use an adhesive and patch over the bolts on the front....

I would in the future like to have those pieces keep in mind...

I believe those are pop rivets. They would look clean and you won't ever have to worry about them comming loose. I vote for those.
Awesome work by the way!
Edit - Oh yeah, the bigger the whole, the bigger the rivet you'll have to get so keep them small till you decide. Smaller = cleaner look.

you mean rivets..as in the apr pieces right?...i was going for the bolts on those...to use hat idea for my splitter..or do you mean the rivets are the "bolt" part lol.
Great work, I would use something that is not as permanent as rivets because with fiberglass in such a critical part of the car your are bound to need quick removal for repairs ( I have been down that road and always regret using rivets).
If you ever have to/want to remove the splitter, you have to drill out the rivets. It could be done but just be carefull not to slip and damage you parts. It would be a pita.
I still think that would be the best way to go. Again, they don't come loose like nuts and bolts and would hold a lot stronger than any kind of tape/adhesive.



I put on a auto primer in black to show me all the little imperfections I need to fix, but in the mean time i put it back on my car because i cant drive around with no front bumper anymore (got pulled over for it ha) so here is a few steps closer to the final product...dont mind the REALLY durty car...





But nice work so far. That VII looks great so keep it up
