Hey everyone so here's my prized possession, my authentic TRA Kyoto S13 Duck Tail (From the well known Rocket Bunny). Finally got it painted just need to bring it in to get it buffed up real quick.. Anyways,

**I'm looking for a shop (in or around anaheim) that knows how to rivet the wing to my car** I know a lot of people probably know how to do this but I want feedback from people with a positive trustworthy shop.

Stamp! of! approval!

3m double side tape and a few rivets

Jared0934 · 11-04-2011, 12:45 AM

Nah I want it fully riveted TRA makes them with holes already lined out for you so only doing a few would look cheap as hell this thing cost me an arm and a leg to get shipped here.

Sell to someone who likes nascar.

If you don't like it that's your personal taste and you can keep it to yourself. -Trash free thread thanks I'm just here for recommendations not arguments

It's really easy to do man. 3m double side it to your trunk. Drill out the holes through the wing and the trunk. Get yourself a rivet gun and start poppin' those things.

UNITEDMASTER · 11-04-2011, 12:28 PM

I could mount it for you,call me up.

Jared0934 · 11-06-2011, 08:58 PM

Getting it done, just saying these pop rivet guns suck, first one I bought was broke and didn't pull the river, second one broke by snapping a rivet and it wont release the rivet.. and 3 out of my 9 rivets I got done didn't get the pole pulled all the way out... >_<

rat240 · 11-06-2011, 09:02 PM

put some thing that will seal the drilled holes so that you dont have to worry about rust forming from the drilled holes

qt_240 · 11-06-2011, 09:35 PM

Hit up Touge Factory .. They are the Rocket Bunny distributer in us.. I'm sure they can provide helpful hint/advice

rat240 · 11-06-2011, 09:40 PM

Hand held guns are tricky for the first time user,you gotta feeeeeel that pole squish,& stay flush/close to the head,creep up on it ,& bang -snatch away....

You called me but didnt call back the following day..

What head size rivet are you using??

indoz33 · 11-08-2011, 02:16 AM

Best rivet for riveting fiberglass to metal? | Adprivet

googled riveting fiberglass to metal and got this site. i'm thinking this with some good body panel tape/glue will do the trick nicely

Jared0934 · 11-09-2011, 08:31 AM

I heard about honeymoon garage from a guy at Autozone lol. @UNITEDMASTER yeah sorry I didn't follow up the next day was busy with the wife and at the end of the day I just saddled up and bought the gun and rivets and did it myself. I used oversized 3/16 pop rivets trouble is now I can't find where to buy more of the oversized dome rivets... nobody has them >_< only in starter packs
