I have a new front splitter and rear wing with my painter and i showed him the canards. He though it would be much better, obviously, to take the whole front bumper off and put the rivets in from behind. So when he's done painting that stuff, thats what we are going to try. Just hope i can get that all done before i put the car away for the winter in the next few weeks. All in all, i think they look great, but like many other canards for the SS, they require driling holes in the bumper. Again, while i'm not wild about that idea, i am certainly not going to drill anything until i'm confident i can get those pop rivets in nice and tight so the canards are tight against the car. |

Btw, you can't push the pop rivet in until the flange is flush with the canard because the stem sticking out hits the other side of the canard. The only way i guess you could is if you force it in and the stem will be cocked off to the side. But when its like that, there is no way to get the head of the tool on the rivet. Stated differently, its impossible to install these with pop rivets from the outside of the car.
I'd love to be proven wrong. |
