Ok I don't have a 240sx yet, but I do plan on getting one in the very near future (hopefully I can find a decent one once I have all the funds). But in the meantime I have been trying to figure out what mods I plan on doing. I'm trying to think of exterior and interior mods first, because I will probably stick with the ka for a while. I want to rebuild it, but I still want the ka for learning.

But that gets me to this question. Is there a wide body kit out there that does not have to be riveted? I really hate the look of the rivets, it doesn't look good in my opinion. Same with the obvious edge of the fender kit itself.

What I want to do is put it on so there are zero rivets, and make it flush with the body. Do they make something like this? Because I can't find any that don't have rivets and/or flush with the car body. I've thought about putting bondo on the edges of the kit so that I can possibly make my own incline to match up the surfaces. Would that work, or is it optimistic?

Basically what I want is for it to look somewhat OEM, just wide body. So to the untrained eye, people wouldn't even think twice if it was aftermarket or not. Because I love the idea of wide body, but I really hate the tacky (IMO) rivets and uneven body surfaces. It looks unfinished to me.
