I used stainless steel sheet metal screws. They look good and don't rust, and are designed to go into metal. The head of the screw is also nice because it tapers inward, like an upside down triangle. If you countersink (make the hole wide at the top and narrow at the bottom) the holes you drill for the screws, then the screws will be flush with the kit and not be noticable which is very nice.
As far as rivots go... eh, I've seen em on kits before and I don't recommend using them. It's very easy to apply to much pressure when you put them on and crack the kit. And you'd have to by a rivot gun to put em on, and they're noticable. Hope all this helps! This post has been edited by flipside97LTD: Mar 28, 2005 - 9:25 PM --------------------  |
