Awesome, thanks. How are they bonded to the fiberglass?

Most people embed some flexible wires into the layers of the fiberglass (like at the 4 corners where the mesh will be. Then they install the mesh panels and use the wires to hold them in place. This allows the mesh panels to be removed for painting.

Ok, so are the wires glassed in?

So, as you know I'm prepping the car for paint and I'm almost done. I'm looking for opinions about the molding trim. Should I paint it black, or body color?

Every time I see a fiero with body trim that matches the panel color and sheen, I immediately think of a poor quality repaint at Maaco... cover the glass and let the paint fly!

Slowly getting there. There sure are a lot of rivets holding this stuff on. I was able to find the replacement rivets for the rocker panels, but I'm not sure where to find the other rivets that had to come out.

You have good taste. How long did you have to wait for it?

It's a matter of opinion. I know fieroguru doesn't like body color trim, but I think it updates the car's look.

I agree, to me they both look good. I think it would look even better without the molding at all.
