only way to pop our rivets is to drill them out as far as i know. at least thats what we do where i work. its the easiest thing to do.

i ripped them out

what would a drill do anyway, and what kinda drill, to break them? i just used a hammer for the fender and pulled them back so the fender could slide off of them, and just push it back with a hammer when i get the other fender.

The whole drill deal....I know you already got her done but what you do is find a drill bit about the size of the little indention deal in the middle of the rivet and line your bit up with it direct center and just drill it out. Once you get to the middle part it should just break right off releasing the metal. Or like you said you can just rip them out. I think on mine I just cut mine off!!!!

I know! I told him about you, he's like yeah, blackwidow is a cool guy. so yeah, i woulda prob drove up there as well, but i had to go to work at 6 and it took us 4 hours to get the parts on because every part that i got except for the bumper did not match up correctly.

Apparantly a 92Z hard top and a 92Z Conv is 2 totaly DIFFERENT cars... but we made them work.. Im still however needing a spoiler!

But the car did great, drove like 80mph and it didn't shake or anything, just as smooth as she could be

Didn't take me but like 4hr 20m, i was also hauling some ass.

The biggest problem was the subframe support bracket the verts are equipped with. We had to notch it out in one place to get the fender on and had to cut the bottom seam off the sideskirt so it would mount up correctly.
