Ok so I'm going to be changing out my rear quarter panels for Fiero Warehouse IMSA Side scoops(Thanks to Doug and the rest of the guys at Fiero Warehouse. Great group of people out there). My question is. On a 88 Non- Aero What size rivets hold the rocker panels and the rear quarter panels on? And will any rivet gun work or is there one you guys suggest? Also I'm planning on shaving the antenna and was wondering about the rivets that hold the front fender on. TIA
Mike

Use screws and lock washers, that way you can easily remove them if you need to.

I'd say use plastic rivets, or like "Christmas Tree" fasteners...that way they won't come out on their own, but you can pretty easily get them out if you ever want to.

Thats what I used when I did my panels, and haven't had a problem with them trying to come out on their own

At harbor freight, I got a pop rivet gun with 20 rivets that have threads and screws for $13.99.

Plastic on the top, alumimun or steel on the bottom.
1/4" diameter on all with a minimum 3/8" grip (for the solid ones).
